Because they helped create it. Parts of a thoughtful, well written (rare today) article which explains in more detail and gives examples, naming names:
The Fourth Amendment rights of an American citizen were violated to allow one political party to spy on another.If the press did its job and reported the facts ... then it wouldn’t just be Republicans and Trump supporters demanding accountability and justice. Americans across the political spectrum would understand the nature and extent of the abuses and crimes touching not just on one political party and its presidential candidate but the rights of every American.
As newspapers and magazines around the country went bankrupt when ownership couldn’t figure out how to make money off the new digital advertising model, an entire generation of journalistic experience, expertise, and ethics was lost. It was replaced, as one Obama White House official famously explained, by 27-year-olds who “literally know nothing.”
But the first vehicles of the Russiagate campaign were ... journalists at the top of their profession—editors-in-chief, columnists, specialists in precisely the subjects that the dossier alleges to treat: foreign policy and national security. They didn’t get fooled. They volunteered their reputations to perpetrate a hoax on the American public. [Example: Project Veritas video of CNN's Van Jones admitting the whole story was bull]
That’s why, after a year of thousands of furious allegations, all of which concerning Trump are unsubstantiated, the press will not report the real scandal, in which it plays a leading role. When the reckoning comes, Russiagate is likely to be seen not as a symptom of the collapse of the American press, but as one of the causes for it.
Much like the media on Russian collusion, I too enjoy writing fiction, and I tell you it is very difficult. Sometimes you just run out of material and inspiration, and you have to let your brain lay fallow for awhile.
Give them a couple of months and I am sure the itch will come back.
Or maybe because nothing is coming out of mueller at the moment. News gets reported as it occurs. Weird huh?
The only time we have actually heard from Mueller is when indictments have been unsealed. We probably won't hear from him again before the next wave comes out.
Not only were the media willing accomplices in this with their pals at the DNC/FBI/DOJ, but I strongly suspect they were paid for their lies. We know factually from Wikileaks that the DNC was having MSM writers craft articles friendly to Hillary, then send them to the DNC for editing & permission to publish. We know CNN was giving the debate questions to Hillary ahead of time. We know Fusion GPS is run by former MSM journalists. We know Fusion GPS told Christopher Steele to shop the unverified dossier around to the MSM. We know Fusion GPS had MSM writers on their payroll. What we don't know yet is which writers at which publications. When we find out, the pieces of the puzzle will be fitted together and if the MSM outlets were indeed publishing things they knew were unverified ion exchange for cash payments, as part of their conspiracy with the DNC/DOJ/FBI, then they will be going to jail on RICO charges.
There is no doubt that the media worked willingly to help create the Russian collusion conspiracy.
Heck, just look at how so many of them are actively working to downplay all the FBI/DOJ corruption that is being exposed.
Biggest political story since WWII. A few might have been in the running to get a Pulitzer. Instead, Sarah Carter and John Solomon will have no competition for it.
I have to agree with the guy in the Obama administration who basically said today's 'journalists' know nothing.
