You can't invade someone who handed you an invitation and a briefcase with millions of dollars in it.

Pretty much every reporter to come out of journalism school for the last 30+ years has wanted to be Woodward or Bernstein, whichever one was played by Redford. That is what they were weaned on and what they aspire to. I just don't see them developing a big conspiracy story, being told by their editor to drop it, and happily complying.
Real reporters get warrants issued for their arrest through INTERPOL for having sex without condoms, jailed, threatened, etc. It is much more to their personal benefit to NOT report what they're told not to report.
