The US media machine, picks and chooses when some words are appropriate and when not, depending if it fits their agenda.
How about the name "Dick" ? As in e.g. Dick Cheney ? Why isn't it considered a slur, just like "cock" ? It an elephant in the room no one speaks about.
How about the word "pussy" as in a small cat ? It has been used to report by the news on "Pussy Riot", which has a direction connection to the female genitalia.
I think it might be because of the sensationalist nature of the US media as such and their juvenile handling of anything that's taboo.
