That is why I read Hacker News. The media will try cover up and protect Trump no matter what. Good thing commenters here can scoop the media and expose his lies.
How are you sure that the parent comments isn't lying to you, either? I'm not saying that it is, but you should take more care to verify your sources rather than relying on random commenters on a technology forum…
Maybe if your definition of media is Fox News and Fox News alone. Washington Post, NY Times, CNN, MSNBC, and hell even Yahoo News have been the ones revealing most of these details for the public to see through what must be some of the best investigative journalism in history. Although I hate the panel circus, false equivocating, and general pussy footing in the media, they have been doing an admirable job. In the last week we've also seen more and more on screen personalities call out Trump's lies as lies instead of "inaccurate statements" so even that is changing.
The only better sources for developments in this fiasco are the unsealed court documents coming out of the investigation.
My definition of the media is pretty expansive. If Trump is in so much trouble, I would think the Washington Post or New York Times would lead with it. Maybe they buried the trouble in the Style section.
