The pedos own the media.
Wore it out. We’ve heard nothing but trump=pedo forever now, people are fatigued with that information.
It doesn’t generate clicks anymore. So the news doesn’t care.
However, that mental 14 year old shitlord trump trash talking Talarico? They love covering that drivel.
Close. The answer is they are owned by wealthy elites that are covering for pedophiles.
Racism and bigotry never wear out, but pedos are socially accepted now so move on.
Because anyone with half a brain has known this for ages. Trump and Epstein were business partners in the international child sex trafficking ring.
Why is the Media Ignoring the […] allegations?
Because Americans ignored similar allegations last time and voted the shithead into power. If they didn’t care then, why should they care now? Trump was a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist when they elected him. New allegations are just resume padding.
Edit: I meant rapist, not racist (though Trump is both)
People forgot that major news outlets are now owned by a handful of oligarchs. So, it’s in their every interest to put the story under the rug.
Exactly this. They’re all owned by his friends, rich pedophile freaks with an addiction to hoarding wealth
Bingo! Look to the top of the organization charts or at least who funds them.
Legacy media loves Trump. They created him and they will never betray him. Legacy media are all nazi cockroaches who should be treated as such.
Support independent media.
Yep. It’s telling that the ONLY time they played hard ball with Trump is when he attacked their industry to limit access. Everything else he does? Easy pass.
It’s owned by the Epstein class. You want them to expose themselves to anyone that isn’t an under age girl in duress?
yup billionaires have cucked the legislatures
Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. It’s a form of government- oligarchy. It’s more or less feudalism with extra math, and it’s an active competitor of democracy and rule of law.
Exactly. Human greed ensures it.
You’re misunderstanding it bro. The peasants can totally have this sliver of democracy while the entire economic system is made up of thousands of competing oligarchies/plutocracies, allowed to be ruled by kings, with their own private militaries and propaganda operations, and grow wealthier than entire nation states. Nothing sus.
In the US, it’s probably because most of the mainstream media is owned by conservatives.
Examples:
-
Rupert Murdoch owns Fox News, NY Post, and the Wall Street Journal.
-
CNN and CBS News (as weak as a number of other channels) are run by the Ellison family. There has been talk of making them sell CNN to someone else, but it hasn’t happened yet.
-
The Washington Post is owned by Amazon mogul, Jeff Bezos.
-
The Hill and NewsNation are owned by Nextstar (who also own the largest number of broadcast tv stations). Founded and run by Perry Sook.
What’s amusing is that for decades, conservatives have been howling about the “liberal media”.
It was absurd when you had about 3 major corporate networks and a cable station like CNN doing all of the gatekeeping, but maybe a bit of diversity among the various papers - but it was hard to really tell people about the absurdity of that without the internet.
But now it’s absolutely cartoonish to claim there is a “liberal media”. And yet the right still do it.
New York Times is probably one of the last papers with the resources and the tradition of at least doing something akin to reality-based reporting, but they love to play the both-sides game. To the right, though, they represent some far-left fringe, LOL.
conservatives have been howling about the “liberal media”.
That’s because they’re brain dead. “The hat is red, the brain is dead.” And yes, some are malicious little pricks that knowingly spread bullshit for bait, trolling, and likes/subscriptions for their blather factories.
It’s honestly one of the most damaging and insidious things the media has successfully convinced the average American of
The NY Times has been carrying water for the right at the very least since the war in Iraq.
It’s insane how the right has been able to convince people that they’re “far left.”
The Overton Window in the US is so unbelievably far to the right.
The House of Mouse isn’t conservative, but it tends to be complicit as fuck. Just go with the flow.
Disney is “liberal” or “progressive” when it’s convenient for revenue, nothing more.
Read The Extended Universe How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World. Disney is one of the shittiest companies.
Socially progressive, economically conservative. I.e. “It’s distasteful to be openly racist but I’ll vote for policies that inflict economic harm on poor minorities.”
…you say about the company that made Song of the South, among tons of other examples.
Corporations don’t have ideologies, only financial incentives and strategic marketing.
“…and they control all the media you consume so they decide all news and information you get to hear:
THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS!
…
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.”

Because Trump will sic FCC chair Brendan Carr on them, if they mention anything “bad” about Dear Leader.
Mainstream media’s been cucked by a NY conman grifter with a penchant for lawsuits.
They’re all cowards. The movie trope of the hero newspaper journalist and their faithful editor is a fucking joke.
The media is owned by billionaires with an agenda. They shape the narrative for all of us, for the most part.
For the same reason they ignored the stunning old Trump-Epstein Allegations:
Because their owners on the surrounding pages doing the exact same thing.
Because the actual House Judiciary Committee report debunks his lies in the middle of an election – and brings the receipts.
There are a lot of people even on Lemmy that are acting bored, “Why is this news?” and the like, but honestly anyone who is interested should read it for themselves: the REAL news is not in the headlines, or even in the articles that follow. The real news is in the redactions that have been uncovered in the report, what they hid, and the ability to view it as a whole instead of the usual media trickle truthing.
Every time someone posts a link, there’s at least one or two people going, “We already knew this!” No. What you knew were the broad strokes. See page 25, for example: everyone knows Katie Johnson sued him for rape and then withdrew her suit, but you missed that Trump and Epstein have been linked to each other by the FBI in the context of child rape for almost twenty years.
If you want the quick overview of what I personally have noticed so far, look at my post history. From the day it came out I have been throwing it out there. But honestly, just skim the report. Or even just the press release, which is a shittily formatted but fairly good synopsis.
And when you do read further, keep in mind that this House report was never intended to be a fully-argued prosecution: rather, it is a specific, and incredibly damning, rebuttal against the current DoJ claims that there is not enough evidence to investigate known facts further. DoJ insists that there is no further evidence, no reason to investigate any further because no investigations = no prosecutions. This report is the Dem answer to that. It lays that purpose out up front, it says that throughout, and it wraps up with that in the end.
For every single person who brays, “No one will investigate!” that’s just a lie. The MAGA Republicans currently in control of the US government refuse to investigate. This report is the Dem answer to that obvious lie. And they bring the proof.
No media article I have seen so far even got that little bit right. By design, I suspect.
That’s what we get for relying on the media. If you want to know why it’s news, read it yourself.
Also, you should know that Trump isn’t alone in this. Vladimir Putin has a known predilection for little boys: that is the suspected reason for the fact that a man fluent in German and rising in KGB ranks never got posted abroad but was kept home, and why his official records are full of strange lacunae. It’s not just Putin’s “statecraft” that makes Trump love him like a daddy. Let’s talk about that too.
Because some of those who work forces, work in news offices.

They’re not.
If you mean why don’t CNN, Fox, NBC, MSNBC, and whatever other mainstream cable 24-hour news aggregator consistently report on it… They’re not really news agencies. They work and live on ratings. So they report whatever makes them money and should not be treated as news.
Why all the google links?
I am currently using my phone and preferred not to put more effort than necessary into this Lemmy comment. Furthermore, the links themselves are not the primary focus; the fact that this is being reported on is what matters most.
I skipped them explicitly because they were Google links. I suggest against feeding Google more traffic, they are literally part of the problem.
Understood and you’re probably right.
The links themselves aren’t the issue. It’s enough that the links simply exist. Honestly, I just couldn’t be bothered to do anything more than I did.
…because allegations don’t get it done.
We need him bang-to-rights. No wiggle room. Conclusive evidence. He’s the most powerful man in the world and he shrugs off allegations.
