US media failing to report news found on foreign websites

I'm wondering if it's a liability thing. The DM publishes news quickly, and then later recants or corrects a story. Maybe the US news outlets have to verify facts or otherwise cover themselves before naming names.

Today, for instance, the DM published on their site many stories about the 3 girls rescued in Cleveland -- one story stated that at least 5 babies were born to the girls in the house, and there were several more miscarriages. It may or may not be true -- and so far, no US media outlets have reported that story.

Another revealing thing to do is to read the comments by readers after these news stories and see what the rest of the world REALLY thinks of us.

Pay close attention news stories when something "big" is going on in the U.S. news and dominating the headlines. Bills get passed, things get done behind the scenes when we are not paying attention because of the 'big" stories.

This is true. It is always interesting to see the comments from posters on RT.
