Perhaps many in the various media are Creationists?
A disturbingly large portion of the media attention this event *has* garnered has been centered on the Creationist "special edition" of the book that was released to mark the event ("special" meaning complete with "rebuttal"). A disturbingly large portion of THIS attention has promoted the idea that it was Darwinism, not religion or politics, that motivated Adolf Hitler's ethnic cleansing policies; of the many hits in Google related to the anniversary, nearly 10% link Darwin to Hitler, including many of the highest-ranked google hits (ironically enough, all of these I've checked seem to be religious commentaries). It appears there is virtually no "middle ground" allowed in the media - you either praise Darwin, or you blame him for the Holocaust. Remarkable how polarized society has become.
Peace,
