Why is it Okay to Talk About Trump/Russia w/No Evidence, but Seth Rich is not ok?

....somehow not a matter to be discussed?
I'm not talking about on here, of course. I'm talking about the media. For example, last night Sean Hannity said something like "I serve at the pleasure of Fox News." Later, he signed off by saying, "I hope to see you again tomorrow night." Of course that was after he said that he would back off talking about the Seth Rich murder case "for now." Obviously, Hannity was given a choice between his paycheck or continuing to speak out.
And, it isn't just Hannity. We keep hearing the media saying that this matter should not be discussed because it's hurting the Rich family. When has the media ever made a claim like that before? Did the media ever say, "Out of respect for Darren Wilson's family, let's not convict him until we see all the evidence." No, the media ran with the false narrative of "Hands up, don't shoot" for 6 months. So did Obama & the DOJ. When Wilson's account of the situation was corroborated, did the media or the Obama Administration even bother to apologize? NO.
My point is, neither the media or the DNC give a damn about Seth Rich's family. This is nothing but an excuse. I know the "left of center" people here won't give a damn about this, but you should. This type of censorship & suppression has hit an all-time high (low). Some may not care, given the matter being suppressed this time, but next time it could be different.

Right. Keep repeating this and maybe one day it will become true.
You guess which is which. In one "scandal" you have the heads of every major intelligence operation in America weighing in. In the other "scandal" you have Kim Dotcom saying "trust me."
Can you guess which is which? Do they sound equivalent to you?

If you can't see the evidentiary difference between these two examples, then all I can say is - good grief.

Twant and First Cut want are mad on the internet.

Funny how that works isn't it.
You have the heads of our intelligence confirming to evidence of collusion and it still doesn't matter to those idiots.

Since when has a topic been off limits for the Media? Since when have we ever heard the media say that a subject can't be discussed because it brings hurt to a family?
If you can't see how absurd that is, that's your problem.

Bc liberals are obsessed with controlling the narrative.
And they're better at it bc they have the media

You also have Julian Assange, the man who published the leaks on his website, saying it wasn't the Russians who gave him the information. And then he all but confirmed that Seth Rich was the "leaker" in the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal just a few days ago.
Despite this, however, everyone freaking ignores him!

Which one has said that Trump was colluding with Russia? Or has had any evidence of it at all?
There is none, you conspiracy nut.

why doesn't he provide the evidence?

I don't know. Why would he lie about something he has absolutely no stake in?

One scandal is being heavily investigated by all of our intelligence agencies.
The other is being backed by a fat guy on the internet.
Not hard to understand the difference.

Julian Assange, who used to do TV for Russian state media, promises and crosses his heart that it wasn't the Russians

At the behest of the Democratic leadership. Let's be honest here. They are driving this witch hunt.

This board trusts Julian Assange, Kim Dot Com, and Hannity over our intelligence agencies. It's hard to wrap your head around that.
