Why is the media in such a frenzy over people discussing the Seth Rich case?

There are tons of conspiracy theories about everything.

JFK, the moon landing, Vietnam, 9/11, Iraq, Sandy Hook, whatever.

There's no shortage of conspiracy theories about any event or topic.

The media typically just ignores conspiracy theories. I mean, what's the point in discussing them, you only give them exposure and you aren't going to change anyone's minds.

But yet for some odd reason, the mainstream media is feverishly working to not only poo-poo the Seth Rich theories but to destroy anyone who publicly discusses it.

Just seems kinda odd to me, they're being unusually testy about it.

How many other conspiracy theories like this are pushed by some of the biggest media personalities on the planet?

When it's Alex Jones spewing bullshite, people mostly leave it alone. When it's Hannity and it reaches infinitely more people, then you'll see the rest of the media speak up.

Pizzagate wasnt "pushed by some of the biggest media personalities" but littered the pages of WaPo and the NYT

I'm pretty sure Hannity had Assange on his program specifically to discuss pizzagate.

The more vigorous the protest the more I think there's something there.

There's a pretty big protest from trump regarding connections to Russia. You must be more inclined to think there's something there.

There's nothing there. Political theatre and doing nothing but hurting democrats in the long run.

I don't think the media cares much about the DNC leakers anymore.

They are now getting leaks from the Trump staffers which makes for better ratings.

The better question is why is anyone still talking about it in the first place?

The entire fricking media is pushing "Russia" every fricking day but when they do it, it is not a "conspiracy theory".

frick that. That is precisely what it is.

Because it was an Arkancide.

They've even got his Parents telling the public to let it go.

Usually Parents of someone killed in that manner never give up the quest for the truth about their child's senseless death.

Ok, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia.
