Why No Coverage?

In the last week, the US DEA and federal marshalls arrested over 600 members of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion.  This is the largest coordinated attack on one of the drug cartels ever.  Six hundred drug traffickers in jail.  The operation is called project python and it is the direct result of an executive order issued by President Trump around a month ago.  Trump directed US law enforcement to try to break up the drug cartels.  This is the biggest blow ever to the cartels and it could get a great deal of dangerous drugs off of the streets of the USA.

My guess is that you haven't heard of this.  That would not be surprising since it has gotten almost NO coverage.  I can't find even one article in the mainstream media about the arrests.  I realize that the corona virus is big news and the Democrat primary fight is also in the news.  Nevertheless, a major body blow to the cartels by the US government is something Americans need to hear about.  How can the media be so silent?

I did see a great deal of coverage today discussing whether or not it is appropriate for President Trump to call the virus "the Chinese virus".  This nonsense is covered ad nauseum.  No one will be affected whether Trump calls the disease the Chinese virus, Covid19 or even Mary Louise.  They are just words, and unimportant words at that.  Getting 600 drug dealers and their suppliers off the streets, though, is a big, big deal that could save a lot of lives lost to overdoses.  The media should get their heads on straight and start covering what's important.
