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.

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.

It's owned by the Epstein class. You want them to expose themselves to anyone that isn't an under age girl in duress?

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.

It's truly a puzzler. Almost like the media is bought and sold by the rich. But that can't be it. Right? Right?!

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.

"Flood the zone" is quite literally the most effective political strategy in the past 100 years.

None of the new allegations are surprising at all. Anyone with two eyes who saw that video of Trump and Epstein at that party knows exactly what was happening.

But let's be real...what batshit crazy news could come out tomorrow that would really shock you? Right now, a few days before election day, we're all expecting what, troops at the polls? Martial law? Another Jan. 6? Do you really think the Trump ballroom or The Kennedy Center are real issues, or were they just looking for crazy shit to distract everyone? Lake America? Gulf of America?

Every day it's just more on top of more. New Epstein allegations are just noise on top of the already existing noise at this point.

I don't know how we can go back from this after how well "flood the zone" worked...

They are PAID to ignore that.

American news is just a bunch of millionaires daydreaming.

Why are they bothering us common folk? Don't they have a buttload of money to count.

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.

The same ones they have always ignored?

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.

Who owns the media?

The pedos own the media.

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.

Because some of those who work forces, work in news offices.

Because there is nothing new there. Trump, a pedophile? I knew that already.

Because their masters are just jealous they didn't get to rape a thirteen year old virgin.

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)

because trump bought them out

The media is complicit and everyone should know that by now

Because anyone with half a brain has known this for ages. Trump and Epstein were business partners in the international child sex trafficking ring.

Because unfortunately, at this point "Trump is a skeezy rapist" is a dog bites man story. It doesn't stand out.

because this beautiful apex species that will soon birth perfect super intelligence would rather protect child rapists, full stop.

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.

Because maga Iran war was successful media counter action.

I'm so glad that photo exists, or their denials might work.

Why do you think?!?

It’s not a mystery.

Because the media's job is to support a right wing regime.

This is the billionaire's world. We are the NPCs, laying down on the tracks of capitalism so they can sacrifice us for a buck. Caring about two evil men torturing and raping an innocent 13 year old doesn't put money in their pockets.

The media is paid to ignore it. And people are too numb to react. Everyone is desensitized to everything that would have enraged them had it been announced all of a sudden. It's like that poison conditioning. Taking little amounts of poison each time, with apparently no effect. But it's destroying us on the inside.

Burn them, grab them, burn them. The evil must be purged.

Because none of the allegations in that new Democratic Report are new. They are ALL details that have been publicly available for years. All this report did was filter out some of Trump's most damning accusations, and organized them in a report.

What this really does is send a pre-Midterm Election threat, that investigations are coming. This is the start.

Wait, Trump is a rapist? 😲

Habit

Because most the voters wanted this rapist and chose it, for a second time, the sickness it infinite!

Because Americans don't care about this. Yes, fediverse users like posting "but what about the epstein files", but I mean... there's dozens of us. Everyone knows Trump is a child rapist harvesting the wealth of the US and no one cares. You can't even agree to vote for an alternative.

What are you talking about? It was all over the media.
