(37,648 posts)Maybe you're unclear about what a news report is.
News organizations are supposed to report only facts, and not opinion. Who, what, when, where, how, why. No "I think," no "hmmm...could be." That's for the talk shows and opinion pieces. And indeed all of that was discussed on talk shows and in opinion pieces.
I found links and posted them to someone else's post saying what you are saying. It's simply not true.

(32,086 posts)This is the same media that is STILL making an issue of Joe Biden as being some sort of sex predator, because people have accused him of making them "uncomfortable" in "a non-sexual" way. And, who totally ignore the Pussy-Grabber, who has admitted behavior that much, much worse than anything of which Biden is being accused. If you aren't a wealthy, white, straight male, you are shit out of luck with those assholes.

(9,090 posts)the major reason for the double standard is ignored. 1500 think tank coordinated radio stations msake excuses for 'pussy grabber' and other republican abusers while limbaugh and sons regularly call democrats and the media hypocrites for trying to impose 'purity' and gender equality and sensitivity on republicans while ignoring, for instance, biden's forced hugging, clinton got a blowjob, and so on.... it really is that bad on those stations, basically all day long
talk radio is a if not the major enabler and dems and left continue to ignore it. that may have reached epic proportions now - while we blame social media and fox for the russian take over of the white house. limbaugh has just spent time every day since inauguration laying out the 'deep state' script that trump and his defenders are using, polluting jury pools and enabling dipshits like nunes/jordan/gomert etc, while there is circumstantial evidence russians may have been using rw talk radio since at least 2008.
sam nunberg told gabriel sherman for ny magazine 4/3/16 that in 2014 the trump team (trump stone (who says he used talk radio in 2000 to stop vote recounts in fla) and cohen) - had him listen "to 1000s of hours of talk radio" and write 'reports'. a russian troll told wash post that in 2014, the same year the indicted russians were visiting key states, they (the trolls at the troll farm) "got a list of topics to write about".
so the russians and trump were probably coordinating their propaganda to piggyback years/decades of talk radio, and many of the social media memes piggybacked months, years, even decades of talk radio repetition (why not?)
and even then democrats and left and media ignore talk radio, and will continue to allow a few hundred blowhards on 1500 radio stations stimulate death threats for AOC and omar, etc while they help media decide who of the dem candidates are acceptable and who aren't,

(15,139 posts)A trip around the dial with the channel selector is a depressing experience. My 600 Pound Life. 90 Day Fiance, Jerry Springer....It's a freak show out there. And the "news" channels are stuffed with talking heads that leave my very sharp 96 year old mother asking, "Who are these people? Who do they know to get these jobs, and what makes them qualified to spout off?"
Oh, for the days of real journalism....

(28,270 posts)Does the media call out the alarm about this obvious tie in of MAGA terror and Trump/GOP going soft on it?
Nope. What a coincidence.
But they raised hell about Hillary's emails.

The Florida MAGA Sayoc who mailed pipe bombs to the Obama family, the Clinton family, other Democrats, and CNN.
And the Coast Guard officer Hassan (JUST 2 MONTHS AGO!) who plotted to kill AOC, Pelosi, Waters, Blumenthal, indeed-- 'everyone in the world'.
We barely even remember these, and Trump just laughed them off.

(5,725 posts)They wear weird head dressings, their religion is violent and incompatible with American ideology, and they swear fealty to foreign-controlled despots. They don't do nearly enough to aid authorities in stopping their "bad actors."
They hate us for our freedoms.
They should be interned for the duration of The War Against Terror, which is eternal. It's the only way true Americans can be safe.

(37,648 posts)when it's not a part of the case. If the criminals refer to Trump or make a statement about it, or quote Trump...something along those lines...then that would be reported. It's part of the case.
Reporting is who, what, when, where, why, and sometimes how. It's not "here's why I think they did it." That's not reporting. That's something you hear on political talk shows, where I'm sure it's discussed. Morning Joe, Maddow, Hardball, The Beat. And in opinion pieces on CNN, Daily Beast, Salon, etc.
