There is no reason for the King to bow down to international media pressure. Their job is to create unnecessary pressure while the King's job is to act in the interest of Nepal. And international media should focus more attention towards plight of people in Bhutan and the Nepal-origin people who have been chased away with India's silent consent. Also Darfur, Chad, Russia (where Putin has jailed his major opponent).
Current repression in Nepal is nothing when compared to that in Bhutan. Let the Maoists come to power and they will put Bhutan to shame.
In Nepal media, Kantipur Publications has started publishing news that serves India's interests. Money can do magic and who would know better than the editors of Kantipur?
My two cents
