ABC, NBC, And CBS Pretty Much Bury IT Scandal Engulfing Debbie Wasserman Schultz's Office

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattv...ing-debbie-wasserman-schultzs-office-n2360649

Well, just in case you didn’t hear, an information technology officer has been accused of bank fraud. He tried to flee the country, and now Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s (D-FL) office has finally fired the aide, despite this person being under investigation since last winter. His termination was made official on Tuesday.
Imran Awan is also the subject of a Capitol Police probe where he’s accused of “serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.” He provided technical assistance to other Democratic members of Congress.

This Pakistani tried fleeing but got arrested. He's been watch for a while now apparently, yet Wasserman didn't let him go a anyway, until now. The coverage is very slim by the MSM. The whole thing stinks, and the IT breach in the House IT network is serious business. Why aren't the news agencies covering this?

Did a quick google search and found this all over MSM. Try it, you'll like it... ;)

Seems like they're doing a lousy job of burying it to me and are covering it just fine to me. :roll:

There's a certain section of Americans who have no problem lying and ignoring facts, as long as they get to push their agenda. The truth, to them, means far less than their goals. It's just sad so many Americans have no integrity and are so willing to lie.

Why is Wasserman-Schultz responsible for a fired employee's actions?

It seems to me the likely answer to your question is found in the following statement from your link to Townhall.

"Awan and his family have reportedly worked for House Democrats for years. He declared bankruptcy in 2012, but has made millions of dollars on the House payroll over at least a decade of work for various members, according to a Politico report."​

So, basically we have a thread based on a false premise, namely, that the major news outlets didn't cover a story that they actually covered.

No, the actual answer to his question is that his question was completely false, as I've already proven by posting links to stories by all three major news sources.

Swing and a miss once again.

Re: ABC, NBC, And CBS Pretty Much Bury IT Scandal Engulfing Debbie Wasserman Schultz'

It seems like we run into one of these about once a week.

POSTER A: "Why isn't teh meeja covering (insert story X that ostensibly makes a Democrat look bad, with the implication that said story is being "buried" because OMG LIBRUL MEEJA BIAS!!!)?

POSTER B: "Well, here's several links to MSM sources reporting the story."

POSTER A: *crickets*

A wide swath of conservative America simply accepts the notion that the media is hopelessly in the tank for the Democratic Party as gospel truth -- based largely on confirmation bias -- and NOTHING will disrupt that narrative. It's part of the Perpetual Victimhood Complex that keeps the base fired up.

It's a little more than a wide swath of "conservative America" Kobie.

Just curious- which do you call worse, providing no information or providing wrong information?

Yes I do.

There are many who confirm chronic tendencies towards that in their posts here on DP. The poster I commented to is one of them.

Do you know how to recognize denial?

It's clear you don't. You never admit when you are being partisan and to back up your claim that the media is bias, you post two links showing how many people think the media is bias.
It doesn't mean that it is and certainly not in this case! Funny how no one seems to want to answer my original question on the matter, but yet they still complain about non-existent media bias of this story.

ABC News ? Breaking News, Latest News, Headlines & Videos - non-existent on it's front page.
CBS News - Breaking News, Live News stream 24x7 - non-existent on it's front page.

Yes, there are articles about this, but as a news story, it's getting buried (just like the OP said). This has been treated like a 1/4 column, page 7 story in a newspaper. That's what "buried" means. Nowhere did the OP say that it wasn't reported, just that the story has been under-reported and given minimal exposure for a fairly major story.

You expect your tortured argument to carry weight?

You're guilty of the confirmation bias you are accusing me of.

I provided links to polls showing a majority of people believe the media to be untruthful and biased. It wasn't my opinion, and no bias was involved.

However, you're just arbitrarily dismissing the information in the two links, because they go against your bias.

You probably didn't mean to do that, but it is what it is.

I found some tweets from the @FAKEDONNYTRUMP

faketweet2.jpg

And yes, they are fakes

Just like this huffed up story about the news not reporting on some issue (even though they did). But even if they did not spend as much time in the media on it, guess what, Wasserman Schulz is not the president and she did not collude (allegedly) with Russia so I am not sure why the media should pay that much attention until more comes out on this issue but I am not sure what national importance this would be when compared to the Russia story.

I posted links demonstrating there was more than just "conservative America" claiming the media was untruthful and biased. That is all I did.

Why are you working so hard to confirm your own confirmation bias by inventing motivations that don't exist?

For example, taking it a step further, even the poster I originally replied to made a claim about confirmation bias backed by nothing other than their own opinion, which is at the heart of confirmation bias.

You might want to let this effort of yours drift off, because it's not getting you anywhere.
