Not odd at all, and I doubt the announcement has anything (directly) to do with it. It's common for any "big" news story to slip down the rankings as it drags out.
First few days, it was a huge WTF with lots of theories coming from left and right. As it dragged on and theories were eliminated or changed, there was less to talk about, and other ongoing stories came to the fore (the Ukraine situation has bubbled back to the top with the Crimean referendum, for example). By now, everyone knows the story: plane missing, nobody has a fucking clue, no film at a eleven.
The fact investigators are leaning more toward it being on land isn't why it's died down... it's that there's nothing else NEW to say about it. Until there's some major breakthrough or change in the situation, it's NOT NEWS anymore. This is why CNN is trying to fill the void with self-appointed experts and bullshit.
The only other thing there is to report, is that there's nothing to report.
