Why has the SFSU school news paper neglected to cover the GUPS controversy?

The story of hate speech at the GUPS Mural commemoration and the subsequent exposure of the organizations' president fantasizing about the murder of Israeli soldiers has made the rounds.

Its been covered by the Jewish Press.  Did SFSU Student Post Selfie with Knife: ‘I Want to Stab an Israeli Soldier’
Its been covered by the San Francisco Examiner. Anti-Semitic writing alleged at S.F. State event
Its been covered by the Jewish Journal  Palestinian SFSU student’s photo condemned as ‘potential threat’
Its been covered by the Times of Israel  “Canned Palestinian Children Meat”
Its been covered by a diverse range of bloggers as well, from the formidable Elder of Ziyon  to SFSU grad Mike at Israel Thrives, from  Israellycool to Adina Kutnick

There is one voice that's been conspicuously  absent, however.  The Golden Gate XPress, the school paper of SFSU has been "serving the San Francisco State community since 1927". Not very well, apparently. Aside from a puff piece on the mural written and updated in early November, there is no word about this controversy thats been covered across the globe.

Who or what is stopping the Golden Gate Xpress from covering this?  Who better than the Golden Gate Xpress to cover this?  Surely this is as compelling a story as "Rain Showers hit SF State"?

Golden Gate Xpress has tweeted about it, yet nothing appears in the online edition of the paper.  

Was the decision to sweep this under the rug made by the editorial staff of the paper, or was it a directive from higher up above?  We may never know.
