Media inconsistency

A curious change has occurred in the rhythm of frenzy in reporting on the Mayor's scandal. KATU interviewed a friend of Breedlove, who said the kid was 17 when he and the mayor started having sex. Breedlove's father also believes his son was 17. If true, this is major news. But as near as I can tell, no one else has followed up on, or even picked up on, this story. Even if the source is unreliable, there's something to report. Suddenly what could be case-breaking testimony appears to be ignored. I don't get it.
