Why has the BBC not reported the gilt auction failure?

The FT Westminster blog posted this at 11.47.  Fraser Nelson has the best analysis to date.

The auction failure maybe a one off as Nelson suggests, but why hasn't the BBC picked this up nearly 3 hours after Bloomberg first reported this?

Clearly we can not depend on the BBC to report serious financial news.
