Looks like the author fake news'd to try and get his point across.
If he said lack of coverage on cable news for a potential big story it would have been an opinion piece and not used false information.
The mainstream media has clearly reported on it.
ETA: A lot of reports are fairly recent however looking at one posters screenshot

I guess you missed the rest of this thread where everyone blew up the original premise of the story. It's being reported everywhere.

Daily Wire needs to do better Googling.
I checked the times that the stories were released. Fwiw non of those stories had been published at the time the Daily Wire story appeared.

Using some tactics go beyond your mental capacity. No one is mad, I dont get mad at my dog for not knowing math, you're just dumber than average.
They left fox news out because its the media and IT WAS REPORTING IT. So when they say why isn't the media repor-
aw frick it this is pointless.

Keep up. Transgenders are real.

The IT guy for several members of Congress gets arrested trying to flee the country to avoid prosecution and you think calling it a major story is a stretch.
Alright I've got my tinfoil hat on. Where do you think this story is ultimately going? I assume you think this will be bigger than just one bad IT guy who defrauded the government. Something something deep state?

Nothing about stealing equipment from House members, nothing about the Awan brothers blackmailing their step mother, nothing about DWS threatening the chief of police as he was investigating the crime months ago, nothing except this dude misrepresented a property on a bank loan and got fired for it.
That does not equal "reporting the Awan Story" and its a trick the MSM uses all the time. 'We reported on this story when it happened' but neglects to tell you that they left out a shite ton of information.
This has enough loose details that it begs some deeper reporting not just 'hey some IT guy got fired; weird coin-kee-dink that he worked for DWS and half the house democrats'.

It could go in any number of directions.
He could have been involved in an international money laundering scheme, based on wiring $300k to Pakistan.
He could have destroyed or saved information off DNC servers.
He could have been involved in black-mail. He could have been involved in hacking.
There are a lot of things that could happen, all of which would be fascinating.

Damn, those all look to be written by the same person and just slightly modified. WTF?
Posted on 7/26/17 at 4:32 pm to L.A.
They also didnt cover pizzagate and Seth rich.
There may be something there.....

Being reported but I doubt its the front page lead story that it deserves to be. I'm sure instead the trans ban is their lead story and all they will be talking about tonight and not Awan. That's how the fake media operates.

It's also being reported as a small issue being overblown by bigoted Republicans. In every single case is some variation of this little nugget by the dude's lawyer
That's probably why they didn't jump on it right away. They had to collectively figure out how to blame political opponents for this guy breaking the law.
quote:
Awan’s lawyer, Christopher Gowen, said the charges are politically-motivated and "began as part of a frenzy of anti-Muslim bigotry in the literal heart of our democracy, the House of Representatives."
"For months we have had utterly unsupported, outlandish, and slanderous statements targeting Mr. Awan coming not just from the ultra-right-wing 'pizzagate' media but from sitting members of Congress," Gowen said in an emailed statement.
"Now we have the Justice Department showing up with a complaint about disclosures on a modest real estate matter. To an extent, the situation speaks for itself."

WAPO buries the lead
3 paragraphs from the bottom and oh by the way he used to work for DWS.
So the head of the DNC (whose servers were hacked) had an IT guy involved in international money laundering, smashed hard drives were found in his home, blackmailed his mother, and is being investigated for stealing computers from House members and potentially uploading information from said stolen equipment to an offsite server. Oh and by the way knowing all of this (sans the bank loan) DWS kept him on the payroll at 4 times the going rate until he was arrested. LITERALLY pizza gate.

New York Times released their story 9 hours ago; Shapiro's story was released 9 hours ago.
It's not like it was something days old. It all transpired yesterday, with the most newsworthy person (DWS) entering the information mix later on.
