Perhaps it's just the nature of news. The first time something happens, it's news. Second time, it's not news. If it keeps happening, it soon becomes olds.
Didn't much the same thing happen with $3 gas? First time it was "omigawd, disaster". Then it went down for a bit, came back up again, bounced around the $3 level a while, and before long it wasn't news, but just normal.
