You may know that three days ago, there were reports that the Senate committee investigating supposed collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election has found no evidence of any such collusion. The committee spent two years on the investigation and did exhaustive work. The committee chair, senator Richard Burr of NC confirmed that it found no collusion and some of the Democrat senators on the committee confirmed this conclusion.
I started this by saying "you may know", however, because the mainstream network news shows have not bothered to mention the story. According to the Media Research Council, since the start of 2017, the three network evening news shows (on CBS, ABC and NBC) have devoted over 2,200 minutes of coverage to supposed collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the election. Nevertheless, not even a single one of these shows bothered to mention that the investigation found that there was no such collusion.
If you ever wanted proof that the mainstream network "news" tailors its coverage to fit the desired narrative rather than reporting facts, this is it. It is roughly the equivalent of the news programs covering the presidential election campaign but then not telling people the election results after election day.
