We literally saw it happen. Why does the media pretend that this is a reasonable answer?
Because a handful of billionaires own the media companies that own all the other media companies.
Any solution to this mess will include making sure that there are no more billionaires.
More Luigis please.
Waiter! Another Luigi please!!
Because they're a bunch of cowards that can't be bothered with the lawsuits they'd have to fight for telling the truth, not to mention the preservation of their precious access to Jabba and his palace.
Bunch of fucking losers.

From what I've seen, the media knows the answer and the story is more how the administration refuses to answer rather than the answer itself.
Because they can say/do whatever they want and we're just going to get distracted by the next disney movie or video game.
Every time she's on camera she knows a soundbite might make its way to the ears of the cult she depends on, so she won't give any soundbites that go against the cult's mentality such as factual evidence. She also know her time is up and will be in a court sooner rather than later
Those soundbites sure a hell make their way to the cult. I have family mindlessly regurgitating them.
The Party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Because we've always been at war with Oceania. If the media doesn't toe the party's line Donald Trump will sue them for five billion dollars. Because we've always been at war with Eurasia.
Because if you report facts that Republicans don't like, suddenly you're reporting is biased.
