I also understand the media are not ones to be relied upon, here's an example:
FBI Claims Lack of Public Interest in Hillary Clinton Emails Justifies Withholding Documents
Ill informed articles if so. I also saw people just taking the words wrong. That decision really wasn't, "is the public interested". It was, "is it in the public interest". Those are two entirely different things.
Also, the decision only said they hadn't demonstrated the pubic interest. Not that there was none, but that they hadn't shown one. For all I know they didn't bother to make the argument that it was in the public interest.
