Bias in the media: fat is bad and sugar does not matter

I am completely stunned by the bias of the media about fat and sugar.
Recently the media emphasized the fact that in a rat study researchers showed that saturated fat could be a drug for the brain.
So it was a rat study, it was a very high fat diet but nevertheless they backed an analogy with human brain and ... Palm oil.
This week in the journal of American clinical nutrition researchers showed in a retrospective  analysis of the woman health initiative study that high glycemic index foods are associated with an increased risk of depression.
Nobody in the media is reporting this interesting study on humans about high sugared products from White bread to pasta dairy added sugars and sweet drinks.
