Why is coverage of the US shooting team suppressed?
It makes sense to me that coverage aimed at an American audience stress the accomplishments of Americans, and give the viewing audience what it wants. If news teams think that the shooting sports aren't important enough to be covered in detail, that's their prerogative.
HOWEVER
CNN did a thing on all the Americans who won gold so far...but left off our 3 shooters who won gold.
NBC did a segment on people who won golds in multiple olympics, but didn't even ONCE mention Kim Rhode, who won the gold this Olympics AND IN THE PREVIOUS 4 OLYMPICS. In fact, she is the first American to win a gold in an individual event at five straight Olympic Games. The only way to gloss over mentioning her on a segment on Americans who won gold medals is if she was purposely left out.
Oh, there medals are counted in the total, but otherwise these guys and gals are getting the shaft.

Your wrong. Kim Rhode was front & center on the Today show on Monday after her win. NBC did a Peice on her as well. Shooting is not a great visual sport like track or swimming. Seen any Boxing? sailing? Not every sport is on the main channel, many are on NBC cable networks.

Who knows, NBC is not doing a very stellar job of broadcasting the Olympics this year.
