I'd imagine that the reason relates to a combination of (1) the absence of an attack overshadowing the election, (2) the (slightly) increased difference in time, and (3) the continuation of the status quo is never as big of a story as change, and (4) some newsrooms didn't see the upside in trumpeting this as a validation of Bush's policies, so they left that task to News Corp.
