   Watch it again. There's a scene where a HUGE crowd of reporters is gathered   
   near the building. Remember, one even reports "and the military is   
   wondering, where is Godzilla."

   Reporters for what? The Dimension Tide is *top secret*, and when it's first   
   used against Godzilla, it's on an uninhabited island. When Shinjuku flooded,   
   there was a military barricade around the city. Have you known many military   
   actions to willingly let reporters in when they don't know what the   
   situation is? Remember also, in many of these movies, They know where   
   Godzilla is landing, and evacuate the areas, plus put a no-civilian flyzone   
   in the area (especially since many of their vehicles tend to be flyers, and   
   Godzilla is notorious for shooting down helicopters.   
      
   It's just common sense usage. When the monsters appear out of the blue, the   
   military quarantines the areas ASAP, and evacuates if possible. It's not   
   going to be a big media fest until after the situation resolves. Not to   
   mention timing. Megaguilas emerges, then goes right after Godzilla. Between   
   his emergence, and time of demise, it couldn't be more than a few hours.   
      
   But in G2000, there is definetly no shortage of media attention given to the   
   UFO. In GxMG, there's just not enough TIME for a reporter to get into the   
   action.
