Much of media, print, television and social, is owned by conservatives. We shouldn’t be surprised that stories get suppressed.

I have two enormous ones myself that are taking time getting larger national media awareness. One I discussed with your producer regarding Trump’s lack of filter and what that means. The other is far more massive explaining why much of everything is suppressed and how on Social Media via Yonder Inc, the company known for Project Birmingham that keep repeating including Musk’s recent 1500 racist bots.

Once again, the media will ALWAYS overhype this type of stuff in favor of the Repugs. They're all going to attempt some false equivalency with trump's reckless actions. It's disgusting.

Not at all surprised by CNN as they're Fox News in training at this point.

Clearly, there are lots of folks within the intelligence agencies that are pro-trump given this info got out. They're dying to change the narrative to take the heat off trump. I just hope this isn't garland grasping at ways to not indict trump. Nothing shocks me these days.

CNN, FIFTY minutes on this ?? Really. Lately I’ve only had one word response bomb into head, which is unusual, “Jesus”. I suppose next two years of that upcoming.

Per usual, Repugnicans feel the need to go after President Biden and let the failings of the Orange Monster go unpunished. How absurd, but typical for sure. The amount of projection that comes out of this party is breathtaking and the denial of participation in criminal activity is pathetic.

This story and it’s finding right before the November election smells fishy. I have to wonder how these documents got there. Nonetheless, they were in a locked closet as opposed to freely available for anyone walking around Mara Lago. Would it be bad for Biden to invite the FBI into his home to search in order to clear up the hogwash? I feel confident nothing would be found. On the other hand, the GQP would twist this to their narrative by convincing their followers that Biden was being investigated because he is crooked or no different than Trump. I answered my own question. I’m glad you addressed a different kind of elephant in the room. Thank you.

If the elections in November, didn’t show you who the media is rooting for and what their focus is about, this story, sure as hell has.

Clearly the “responsible mainstream” media is bending over backwards to scrutinize Biden on this, especially considering how the Hunter Biden “laptop” thing was (understandably) so mishandled.

The bottom line is NARA has a protocol in place that covers situations like this. And that protocol was dutifully observed and made transparent. But like the GOP talking point of "millions of migrants caught at the border or drugs seized" that conveniently omit the gov't agency did it's job, they are deliberately seizing the wrong end of the stick to hit Biden with. And our idiotic corporate media is gleefully complying. After all, theirs is a "both sides" mentality while the democracy ship is sinking. I am beyond weary of it all, the cynicism, the lack of professionalism, and the dopes who believe every conspiracy theory in spite of the truth.

I would have loved to like this commentary but the sheer nothing burger element reigned and thus put me down for present when the roll is taken. Wake me up when the decimation of the OCE rears it's ugly head...

Absolutely a brilliant move. I'd have done it on purpose. Announce the "found" documents, turn them over, and apologize.

And BEHOLD! The MAGA world loses it shit.

Tie McCarthy to this -- as he demands more documents and finds nothing --and make it an anchor around his neck.

Seriously, check out the comments on Newsmax. They are going insane.

Won't take much longer now, to push them over the edge.

(Wouldn't be surprised if the NY Times thought about this, going in. Make it seem big, and the GOPers run with it to the fringes of sanity.)
