Reason #... never mind - there are too many reasons to count already...
Benghazi: No big deal
Because even multiple Republican led investigations found nothing
Quote:
Uranium 1: No big deal
Because it too is no big deal, it doesn't give anything to the Russians in the way of controlling our uranium supply, or even getting any. This has been debunked over and over.
Quote:
Awan Bros: No big deal
Still up in the air. Might be, might not be.
Quote:
Fake Dossier: No big deal
Because its not fake, and tons of it has been confirmed. The author of it estimated it was 80% accurate I think? Because its not a product of perfect intelligence.
Quote:
IRS Targeting: No big deal
Turned out to not be one. Yes some keywords were used, but it wasn't something done with horrible intent, or as a political thing. It was covered quite well.
Quote:
Fast n Furious: No big deal
Covered extensively by the media.
Quote:
Private Server: No big deal
Also done by past administratinos, and done by a lot of Trump folks now as well. Covered a ton in the media
Quote:
Spying on Trump: No big deal
Because no one spied on trump. Some of his administration were because they did things that caused them to be monitored-IE things that SHOULD cause them to be monitored.

Kellyanne Conway Hatch Act: Whens the execution?
Because she broke a actual law, people want her held accountable. Oh the horror.
And ALL of this has all been covered by the media. Thread fail.
I'm sure you're also up in arms about the following --

Vice President Mike Pence routinely used a private email account to conduct public business as governor of Indiana, at times discussing sensitive matters and homeland security issues.
People picking on the political bent, not addressing the topic...
How can something that derives it's income from shock, be trusted to no report the shock that exists OR manufacture shock to keep the revenue rolling in?
In the grander sense, consider the complete abandonment of the label "news" in favor of "media".
I don't care What your political inclinations, it can be identified as happening to your favorite source to carp on and your favorite source to believe without question. Again, this is *not* a left/right issue, this is a citizen/elite issue.
Greywar - All of your "covered by media" statements are bunk.
Dossier - "80% accurate, I think"... I have a bridge to sell you as well - terms of the contract are 80% true...
Weird. then how do I and so many others know about them?
I could spend the time linking story after story, but im not your google monkey, and everyone who watches any media knows about those stories from the media. The only "bunk" here is your nonsense claiming otherwise.
And the dossier-you should try and remember what it was. It wasnt a intelligence report. It was created for political purposes (as all candidates do). It was a private eye reporting what they heard from sources. And currently a surprising amount of it has been corroborated. Given what we actually know, it seems to be a decent document for what it is.
But hey, facts and reality don't really matter much to you based on the initial post claiming the media didn't cover those things, when even a little googling will show all of them were covered extensively with the possible exception I would say of the Awan issue, although I have read articles on that on mainstream media as well, I think it deserved more.
But to your point people confuse opinion pieces on cable tv networks with news. You go to the AP/Reuters for news and you’ll get more objective coverage.
