Why isn’t Fox Talking About Giuliani Claim About Underage Girl

You can say it's because they are leftist, but they want to independently verify before they make a claim like underaged girls.Even Hannity and Tucker will want more confirmation than a tweet before running with a story where the claims are so significant that you could lose all credibility if it's not true.

That is a pretty hot button item to be as cavalier as to say

about.


They have discussed, at length, those things that have been RELEASED (emails, etc). The underage is just alleged at the moment and those pics are not released (good). So, it would really be pretty irresponsible to do more than report "been turned over to police for possible..."

I think that is a wise move

After all those years of Shepard "Sucking Dan Rather's C*ck" Smith, you'd think that people would understand that there is a HUGE difference between Fox News between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. (cst) and Fox News between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (cst)

They are completely f*cking different.

The uncomfortable and outright ickiness of the act make it the kind of thing that no one wants to talk about. Sam Harris had a podcast with a reporter who tried to shine a light on pedophilia in this country, and one of the things they talked a lot about is the difficulty in communicating about the existence of such an evil act. People genuinely didn’t want to hear it; they’d rather just falsely assume it doesn’t exist than being forced to confront that it does. It’s that revolting.

I suspect some of that is going on here as well. The big news outlets might not want to make it an official story until they absolutely have to, which would only happen after a law enforcement agency directly confirmed to the media outlet that said photos/videos exist. This is one of the exceedingly few areas where the MSM doesn’t seem to be okay with using second hand sources

He didn't say the pics of the underage girl was inappropriate that I heard. They are going to avoid it if possible.

Rudy tweeted it so that the authorities know they can't sweep it under the rug. The plan may be to wait on the authorities, I don't know that bringing this to light without the authorities arresting Hunter is a winning strategy unless there's some kind of proof they can put out in the media.

Pedo-crime is radioactive. Everybody that gets close to it gets burned to some degree, some are irreparably damaged.
That's why the first instinct is to bury it.
To the naive, the best analogy for exposure to raw pedo-crime would be standing under the Trinity test-stand at T+.025 seconds.

Fox likes to verify rumors before reporting news items so they can present it as "unverified". i.e., "we have verified that this supposed breaking news item is unverifiable.

Honestly this is something they don't want to jump the gun on at all. I can see why it isn't being talked about at FOX quite yet. This is one thing they absolutely cannot get wrong. It's coming though... believe that.
