It's a little over 4 hours since Catherine Herridge at Fox News reported that the FBI had expanded its investigation of Hillary Clinton to go beyond just the mishandling of classified information so as to include also the possibility of corruption at the Clinton Foundation. Finally, someone will be determining if all those hundreds of millions of dollars in "donations" and "speaking fees" were actually payments to Hillary and her family for favors done at the State Department or for favors to be done in a future Hillary Clinton administration. We don't know how the investigation will turn out, but the very fact that there is an investigation underway is incredibly important news. So here's the big question: since the story broke over four hours ago, how many of the mainstream media news outlets have picked it up? The answer is staggering: almost none! There's nothing about the story at the CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, New York Times, USA Today, or AP web sites. NOTHING! At the Washington Post, there is a mention of the story on the Post blog, but no article in the main site.
For those of you who think that it is too soon for the story to have made its way to these websites, here's a bit of troubling news: the story has been picked up by multiple outlets in London where the workday has already ended. The story was also picked up by many sites in Australia where it is the middle of the night. It is also in the sites of many Canadian news outlets. The story also made its way into at least twenty of the conservative alternative sites as well as the few media sites that are not biased in favor of the liberals (like the New York Post.) What this means is that the mainstream liberal media has made a conscious decision NOT to cover this story for now. There could be no better illustration of major media bias than this.
I wonder if they will cover an indictment of Hillary.
