I think the issue is with MSNBC and CNN television coverage I doubt they even mention it...
The print media probably is doing an an obligatory write up on it and burying it

The CNN one doesn't count. How do you report the incident and not say what the guys job was, how much money was wired, why authorities were watching them, etc...
One of CNN's better "nothing to see here" articles.

No mention of the DNC hack when the IT guy for head of the DNC at the time of the hack is caught fleeing the country?
Now they may have been behind the hacks, but it appears they were working for Ds in Congress.

Capitol police has been investigating this guy for months and he was banned from the House network in FEBRUARY. DWS keeps him on the payroll at 4 times the going rate until JULY.
Arwan tried to hide his laptop; capitol police find it and hold it as part of their investigation; DWS tries to claim its her laptop not Arwans and threatens the chief of police.
'IT guy accused of bank fraud, fired; used to work for DWS' is clearly the headline.

Liberal media bias entails what they don't present as news at least as much as news that they spin.

Either way, until we have more information, it's speculation (albeit logical) whether they had any access to the DNC, let alone had anything to do with the leaks. But the investigation may reveal otherwise, so we should be patient.
In other words, you're actually criticizing articles for not speculating before the evidence is available to support it.

Your logic stops before it approaches the Russia conspiracy, though, right?

Media reports on story.
Media complains that media is not reporting on story, causing a second round of reporting on story.
Then conservatives complain that media is not reporting on story that media both reported on and then reported a second time while asserting (falsely) that media is not reporting on it.
And some of y'all don't get why we roll our eyes at the right wing and its media?

Unfortunately the hack opinions pundits and commentators seem to carry more weight on a story than the stories themselves.

You saying yes makes me assume you misunderstood what I was saying. Or you just had a flash of honesty that is frankly unprecedented.
