While true, it is also true the person that controls if information can be released or not from military channels, aka the commander in chief, is also the one that has several high profile news stories cooking

Because no-one ever leaks info in large bureaucracies?

Well there was reports that this information was leaked and the news media had this information days before it was officially reported but the news media chose not to report on that leaked information which is also curious

Ever heard the phrase "when you hear hooves, think horses, not zebra"?

The media probably chose not to report it for the same reason the Coastguard didn't say "They're dead, let's go home" until they found confirmation.

The US military isn’t the only military. US news isn’t the only news.
