If media hadn't thought there was a story in there, there would have been no bullying.

That is not quite right though
A few years ago, our then PM, Julia Gillard, admitted to being an Atheist. Some papers decided to have a go at her. They went to the people that they really thought would go to town on her, over her lack of religious faith.
They went to some of the bigger Christian Denomination leaders and an Islamic leader and a Jewish Rabbi. You know the result? Not what they were after. Indifference.  The report was laughably boring. The religious leaders were not only saying that it was fine that a PM was an Atheist but that it was great she was not hiding the fact. They were simply indifferent.

Cool, but it doesn't disprove my point. I didn't say they always succeed.

Reading my newspaper yesterday, again there was a part about Rosetta and Philae. But the damned shirt I have not seen mentioned once. Maybe they did give it a few lines somewhere where it did not stand out.
I like my newspaper.

Not my newspaper. All they cared about was the landing on the comet. And the tattoo.  :P

Good for you. Not every newspaper was interested in the actual landing.
