It's funny because I highly doubt those same media journalists would decry people watching their coverage of newer titles because "you've got a massive backlog! why do you care?"

Because, frankly, the argument is exactly the same. You can't have it both ways and claim that people can't be excited about X new thing due to backlogs when allowing people to be excited about Y new thing anyway.
you see clout and money from talking about games is fine

clout and money from speculation is bad

I'm not even supposed to be angry at a company that is not releasing anything relevant to me since July? Really?
EDIT: and that is not giving ANY info for what's to come?

If you're getting angry then something is wrong yeah. Nintendo hasn't released anything for me since Mario Odyssey but I couldn't give a shit, they'll do a Direct whenever they're ready, go play some other games or do something else in the meantime.

Could Nintendo be delaying the next direct till there is a clearer idea on the Coronavirus outbreak? Since Japan is virtually out of Switch stock, and game production/distribution could be affected if the virus spreads any further, perhaps they do not wish to commit at the moment to any further announcements?

That actually sounds pretty reasonable from an economic point of view. I am not a businessman though.

What is "losing their tempers?" So people aren't allowed to express different emotions?
Or let people do what they want and ignore people if you can't handle them criticizing nintendo.
You do realize the difference between justifiable outrage and throwing tantrums? It doesn't sound like you care very much and would rather just lash out when you don't get what you want when you want it.

I'm probably totally oblivious, but is there any reason why Nintendo couldn't tweet out a direct announcement after 9AM (EST) besides the fact that historically they have done it that way?

No reason at all, besides the fact that Japan is asleep right now. But so far we don't really have any reason to expect them to deviate from historical patterns, even though they absolutely can.

This lack of Direct is great news for SMT fans.

Atlus would never allow Nintendo to show an SMT5 trailer or announce an SMT5 release date before Persona 5 Scramble releases. If a Direct happens before P5S' release date, February 20th, it it guaranteed to not have any SMT5 news.

So it is a good day.
