The hubris of the MSM is stunning. No longer concerned with any vestige of objectivity, they’ve managed to graduate to an alternate reality.

I’d bet they are not ignoring the trash they left behind.

“If we don’t cover it, it doesn’t exist.”

I think this idea is now consciously operative in the way that news is presented, which stories get attention and which don't. The press has become aware of its power, and they know whose side they're on. There's a deep cynicism involved. "You right-wingers want us to hype the IRS scandal, don't you? Well - guess what? - we're not going to do it, and there's nothing YOU can do about it. Ha ha ha!"
