It's about image. It may seem "indicting" to be interviewed like this but in reality it polishes their image. And they also know a lot of people know about this so it's not worth hiding.
Consider this. A journalist once created a documentary about Ronald Reagan when he was president. Bashing him in the most awful ways and showing what a fraud he is. But in the documentary she showed only nice images of him because thats what she could find. Do you know what? The pres office called her to thank her for the great publicity she gave him because what gets in the mind are the images not the words.

It's interesting, I do agree that showing positive images can appear to help.
