Why isn't this news? [View all]

Went to bed last night after revelations about the Ukraine ambassador, woke up at 2 am and scanned threads here and CNN. I wake up this morning and there is no mention of these texts. No mention anywhere of what they may or may not have been discussing concerning Yovanovitch. Why? Why is it "hair on fire" here and not even a blip anywhere else?? This is concerning we have a President who may have ordered a hit on an American Ambassador, and not one news reporting agency deems it headline news??
