Is Anyone Else Besides Me Surprised That We Aren't Hearing More About The Missing 7hrs 37 min....

of phone calls in the WH on Jan 6th?

Seems to me this should be a front page - top of the hour news story - and I've heard little to nothing today about this.

We always hear that the cover-up is worse than the crime.

It's very evident a cover-up is going on here.

What's that saying about 'intent'?

[Bettie]

1. That would go against the grain of the narrative the media has decided on

The media wants the cover up. They miss having constant crisis and chaos.

[Kaleva]

8. If there's a cover up, why do many sources covering the story?

[Bettie]

12. Are they actually covering it?

They cover it as a second thought, but they don't amplify it the way they do any utterance of right wingers. Their focus is Hunter Biden and "the economy is BAD, everyone thinks so".

[Kaleva]

13. People see the news they want to see

This isn't like the old days when one was limited to a newspaper and one of the big three broad cast news shows.

[DURHAM D]

2. If Hillary and emails are not involved it just doesn't matter. nt

10. +1,

3. Is DOJ investigating this?

[Emile]

14. That must be it!

[Solomon]

17. Ha ha!

Touche'

Well played!

4. What do you want to hear?

The House 1/6 committee received phone records.

There’s a 7 hour gap in the record.

There’s unrecorded phone call with Senator Lee.

There isn’t more to the story until there’s more to the story.

[treestar]

21. The pundits should be speculating

about what calls could have been made then, and suggesting what the most outrageous might be and implying that the WH erased this is suspicious and what are they trying to hide. You know, how they would do it if a Democratic President did this.

[SoonerPride]

22. As much "reporting" ad nauseum that they spent on Hillary's emails

For a start.

[dem4decades]

5. I know what to do, tell everyone the 7 hours are on Hunter's laptop. DOJ will get right on it.

[Kaleva]

6. Less then 5% of the adult population watches cable news

Doing a Google search found numerous sources covering the story.

[newdayneeded]

20. I'm starting to wonder

if 90% of the stories on DU that keep you and I awake at night are not even given a glance by a huge amount of the population.

[Kaleva]

24. I agree with you

[everyonematters]

7. It's an indication that people in the White House had a hand in the breech of the Capitol,

and it could be considered circumstantial evidence. Hopefully someone is talking.

[Torchlight]

9. It's been little more than a side-bar on network evening news.

But I guess for-profit media is simply trying to do what they do best-- increase share value at the expense of the rules of journalism.

[onecaliberal]

11. Nope not surprised. Networks are all dump tv.

[Achilleaze]

15. Another Republican con job on America

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. Personally I will take any length of time with

No garbage coming out of Trump's mouth.

I can't stand to listen to his voice. I just want him gone and I don't really care how.

I don't think the law is going to catch him. He is so good at having everything blamed on someone else.

I am afraid I have lost all confidence in our legal system. It's like it's been for a long time. The wealthy get off and poor people go to prison for stealing bread.

That's the mood I am in today.

[yardwork]

18. The Washington Post's front page yesterday was all about Hunter Biden.

Couldn't believe it. What the actual...

[Boomerproud]

19. I can't imagine Fox going 2 minutes without flogging it.

🤬

[JHB]

23. I'm not surprised by the missing coverage.

After all, there's no Democrat involved for the media to lose their shit over.

[newdayneeded]

25. Wait til you see

how much coverage trumps empty podium gets in a few years. You know, the important shit to the media.

[sarcasmo]

26. No shocker, media controls the narrative and War creates revenue.
