    …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.

    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.

      “…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.”

      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.

        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.”

    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 racist when they elected him. New allegations are just resume padding.

    If you’re expecting justice from the government, or media I can only assume you haven’t been paying attention at all.

    Justice will only come from the populace at this point. Get organized, be terrifying.

    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.

      Are they coming? Or will the Dems just sit on it like they did during the Biden years? Seems more likely that the Dems will continue to serve the oligarchs, like they usually do.

    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.
