Why?
I'm a believer in "fake news" as Trump and his team describe it, not entirely of course because PotUS exaggerates, but I spend a fair amount of time pointing out MSM hypocrisy. It ultimately works against the left wing agenda long-term. So why should explosive charges be covered? They only serve to add to the divisive partisan noise.
Because explosive charges with evidence are incredibly newsworthy.
Lets say tomorrow that buzzfeed said it had uncovered an actual pissgate tape from Trump in a Russian hotel room, that the whole thing was real all along, then it posted an article about how it acquired it, and enough evidence to prove it was real without showing it. That would be incredibly explosive, it would change the dynamic of the Trump-Russia investigation, it would be a huge political scandal with fallout. Whether it supports the political bias of a network, they should be obligated to report in on it because of how big a news story it is.
Well in this case, TheHill.com, a far more credible publication, did investigative reporting and found details enough to prove explosive allegations about the FBI and top democrats.
Yet its completely absent in reporting from all the major news networks other than fox, when fox are obviously the right wing hacks
All the left-aligned networks have chosen to simply not run this story at all. The story is completely absent on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, WaPo, NYT.
