they choose to follow which outrageous thing is next on the list to the near exclusion of all else when it comes to the GQP. The kind of thing I'm talking about is a serious examination of the obvious coverup. Hillary's e-mails were front page and page 2 almost every day even though there was absolutely nothing new to report. Cable news was going 24/7 with segment after segment about anything to do with Obama, Hillary or Biden. Barely a day went by that we didn't see or hear stories about birth certificates and e-mails. Later on it became the "Joe is old" routine.
Nobody is saying don't cover the things going on but literally no documents have been turned over in weeks and the deadline to explain the redactions has come and gone. Yes indeed "eventually" more will come out but the strategy of delay is being allowed to work and is employed for the purpose of dulling the impact and reaction of what does get released. People like Blanche etc. know very well how to blunt the effect of information to the biggest degree possible and they are doing it and are playing a compliant media.
It is similar media conduct as the fiasco around Cambridge Analytica and the Mercers. I would read articles and hear shows describe them as deeply involved and then that would be the extent of it. Any Democrat under scrutiny for anything would have had the media drilling down to the smallest detail all the way back to their time as a toddler but yet the Mercers were just mentioned as deeply involved and then no in depth on them. That's just one example out of many.
It is a standard PR strategy to delay and draw out releases of information and to make them disjointed, less connected in people's minds and to be able to spin the tale of "it's old news", "it's been dealt with" etc. so that the average person who pays little attention is assured by such things. But again the things I'm saying here about the strategy etc. are things the media should be doing stories on. Bring in PR firm people for example and have them describe the strategy. Bring in lawyers who can talk about similar cases of delaying and obfuscating the release of information.
The story is not just what is in the Epstein files but the coverup and delay strategy is a story as well. The media doesn't have to wait for the next document release in order to do the coverup and delay story.
