They do that in a carefully controlled way, well after the event is too cold for the news cycle. And even then, some events that are too dicey-looking are never seen.

Mark, this is not a criticism. Given the way the media handles such things (i.e. sensationally and with minimal or just plain wrong context) it's really for the best.

I'm confused--aren't the launches broadcast live via webstream?

Yes, but landings at sea tend to cause the video feed to go away, and it doesn't come back if anything goes wrong.

I'm sure they have a delay.

I don't understand why this is downvoted. This is exactly how a PR firm or department will handle those things.
