Avedon Carol sums up exactly why I think Sudan isn't being discussed extensively:

Read the rest of that letter, and read Stupid on how nobody's talking about Sudan. Actually, I'm not talking about Sudan, either. The reason I'm not talking about Sudan is that every time someone mentions Sudan I go, "Oh, God," and then I think about Afghanistan and Iraq and think how Bush and Wolfowitz and the gang have pretty much made The Most Powerful Nation in the World helpless to do anything anywhere because we are stuck in, y'know, this qWagmire and sucked our troops dry to the point where we are now re-drafting people in their 60s who have already been honorably discharged. We have no moral authority and we have no troops to send anywhere else and oh god oh god oh god. So I don't talk about it.
 
Exactly.  The events in Sudan are horrifying and the Bush administration is downright evil for crippling us so we can't do anything about it.  There's nothing else to say.  That no one is speaking much about it speaks volumes about how unified opinion is on it. 
Still, I have to wonder.  Without constant discourse about Sudan, how can we ever expect to shame people into seeing the truth about how bad things have gotten?  If it can help get things done, should journalists and opinion makers keep talking, even if all they are doing is repeating the same point, that this is horrible and Bush is horrible, over and over and over again?
