You guys are all assuming the 4 examples I gave were from TV news websites. Two of them were from well-known newspaper websites, one was from a website with no ties to print or TV (the sign story).

The one about what happens to "protestors/rioters" after they are arrested is all of them. To this day, I still don't know with any certainty if the guy arrested at a Tuesday night protest will be back in the camera shots on Wednesday. They don't even have to name names. Don't you think if you knew you were going to be jailed, fined or released you would make different decisions about whether to do the action in the first place?

When high-profile hacking incidents become detected, there are a lot of cyber-intelligence assets on the US side who will go to work tracing where it came from, how they got in, what the extent of the damage is, and how to effectively close the hole. If you immediately signal to the adversary what you know, you can significantly curtail the evidence you're able to collect about the situation. There is a reason why they pick the timing they do. In general, when it has to do with the US intelligence community, you can assume that you won't know about it until well after the fact; that's kind of the nature of intelligence-related work, no?
You are missing the point. The hack was reported months later in July by this newspaper and others. The crime took place months before. By July, the newspaper should have been reporting why American Intelligence was sniffing around the DNC computers. Did the DNC discover the hack or American Intelligence? What did the President say when he was told months before? Did anyone make a decision to tell/not tell Bernie Sanders back then? Why did DWS remain in charge of the DNC until the public was told about the hack? Why would wily Russian agents not make it look like some other country/hacker did it? Why was it so obvious it was them? The answers aren't the theme of this particular thread. The theme of this thread is why the newspaper reporter didn't ask the questions in July, months after the deed was done and investigated. Half-assed reporting.

Take a look at the news sources from outside our nation, and good chunk of them are far more respectable and take the news seriously. Here, in America, we've reached the point of news simply being entertainment with advertising even being considered a "news story."

It's what sells, and boring facts don't sell. Look at the current presidential election for yet another example of that, but it has been going on for decades now.

Its a proven fact that studies show the local newspapers and main stream media lean left. I will give you the exception of Fox that leans right. The one thing that the liberals have is they stick together wrong or right. Republicans eat there own. Our nation is being sold out to other countries and there beliefs are being forced down our throats. People better start waking up. Our constitution is being challenged in order to be replaced before our eyes. The question is are we going to start thinking for our selves and stop being led by the pied piper?
