What reasons do print, TV or radio news have to cover this? I can't think of any. It takes more than a single sound bite to explain what ACTA is, and there are plenty of easier and well-tested ways of getting people worked up when consuming newsproduct.

The people who know what this is and what it means speak up against it constantly: internet users with a clue. The people left who routinely watch TV and read template-generated newspapers are by definition not going to care. You don't watch TV to get real information, you watch TV to watch TV.
