Democracy Dies in Darkness

Media Censorship/Ssuppression; stories the media killed, sat on, or delayed, because it didn't fit their agenda.

Washington Post's slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness". While intended as a barb at Trump, it's become more a motto. These are stories the media killed, sat on, or delayed, because it didn't fit their agenda; how biased the media has become and is willing to snuff out (temporarily or permanently) the truth for their political agenda, and misinform their readers/voters.

Here's some of the skeletal remains of what journalism might have looked like, if it wasn't suffocated by political agenda:

2003.04.10 Tools of the Tyrant - 🔥 Only after the fall of Baghdad, on-air and in an Op-Ed titled, "The News We Kept to Ourselves", CNN's exec-in-charge admit (Eason Jordan) admitted to having suppressed from the public the truth about Saddam being a murderous tyrant, in order to keep CNN's access to Iraq.
Beto Hacker Story - We learned that Beto was a hacker in a group called, "Cult of the Dead Cow", had written many misogynistic posts, and had even dabbled in child homicide fantasy fiction. Reuters not only knew of it, and its News value, for 2 years, they squashed the story so it wouldn't interfere with his Senate run against Cruz (which he lost anyways).
Google TGIF video - Google's reaction to Hillary Clinton's 2016 election loss to Donald Trump, and it was a doozie. They admitted trying to manipulate the election, and failing. That they'd do better next time, and basically attacked any of their employees or people that don't think like the leadership (and support the Clinton Corruption Machine).
Hiding the Ukrainian Genocide - Walter Duranty (NYT reporter/Stalin Apologist) covered up the Ukrainian Gennoacide (Holodomor), and attacked any Journalists exposing it. Of course he was winning awards for helping the Soviets exterminate political threats via one of the greatest famines in the world. Pulitzer never asked for their prize back, nor did NYT give it back, for his crack reporting.
Uranium One Payola - A potential bribery scandal where Uranium One acquired UrAsia Energy. There's a lot of messy details (like everything to do with the Clinton's). But Mueller was Hillary's lapdog, and we gave Russia access to our Uranium, and there was pay for making this deal happen; the Clinton's made out, but the Press/Left is like, "nothing to see here".
