While shareholders would probably much rather hear the message from the top, there can be a lot at stake in getting the message wrong or at least misinterpreted by mischievous media! I do believe though that a company must always provide someone to react to media requests for statements no matter how difficult the enuiry. The "no comment" ploy should be banished for ever. If your company does decide to take that negative stance you can bet the media will find one of your closest competitors instead who will be more than happy to wade in!
