Why Is The Press Ignoring The Exploding Clinton-Russia-FBI Scandal?
IBD ^ | October 22,2017 | IBD Editorial

Posted on 10/24/2017 4:21:18 PM PDT by Hojczyk

How does that explain the utter and complete lack of interest on the part of the mainstream press in getting those facts? It's not as if they don't have the resources and passion to pursue complex scandals that involve top political officials. You'd think some of that talent could be spared to determine whether the Obama administration ignored evidence of criminal activity in order to hand Russia a major strategic asset.

Instead, we're reading commentaries about why the press is right not to cover this because there "is lots of smoke, but not a bit of fire." That hasn't stopped the press from falling all over itself in pursuit of a puff of smoke — which has yet to materialize — on the Trump-colluding-with-Russia story. Isn't it the job of reporters to dig out the facts, rather than ignore a story until all the facts are in?

The reason for the media's silence on this story has nothing to do with its merits, and everything to do with who might be hurt by it.

It’s fine that they don’t cover. Really.

Come on, folks, the lying fake news media ceased to be even remotely “news” oriented back in November. They won’t cover one iota of Trump’s successes (massive) or the D failures (equally so).

It’s ok! Really! Good stuff keeps getting done and average people know. Voters really do know Trump is doing well. Forget polls—we know about them.

As for D scandals, it’s just as well they aren’t covering. When the indictments drop, there will have been no year-long “battlefield preparation” against Mulehead/Sessions and their teams. It will be, as far as fake news is concerned, “out of the blue.”

Just like election night, all over again. It’s a beautiful thing.

They do it.
We know they do it.
When do we make them regret that they do it?
Until then, makes absolutely no difference.

Because they can. They are not going to report on the truth that adversely affects those they promote.

That’s right. Facts that are not politically correct are never covered.

They think they can make it go away if they ignore it hard enough.

Facts that are not politically correct damaging to a Democrat in good favor, are never covered.

Because they are all Dems. It’s their team. It’s their religion. They are all empty headed libs.

Because they lie by omission when it suits them.

"They think they can make it go away if they ignore it hard enough."

They have had some success in the past with that tactic...

...Mulehead/Sessions and their teams

Please put down the crack pipe and step away.

LS, I love ya man....but Mulehead is not working for Trump but is neck deep in the Russian corruption himself.

Because they are purely propagandist now, not press. The problem with this is that their world is crumbling and this destroys them in Americans minds forever......unless there is a plan to take Trump out any second now.

The fact they are not reporting this to me is more frightening by far because the fact they are not getting on the band wagon to save their brands tells me those giving the talking heads orders know something that they think saves them in the end.. Not good.

Why? Because they really aren’t news agencies. They are propaganda arms of the Democratic Party.

I suspect the fakestream media has decided, earlier today, to throw the Clintons under the bus. In order to cut their losses.
