Why is news media so reluctant to investigate rape charge against mr trump?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by TexasTowelie (a host of the Hillary Clinton group).

This was a very serious charge of repeated barbaric behavior by a presidential candidate that should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country. Mr. Trump's lawyer also made a very serious and frightening threat of revenge, harassment and bodily harm to the young woman victim and to the reporter for any public disclosure of the event. The story was checked in Snopes and is still on their site for anyone to read. I cannot understand why the news media has been so reluctant to pursue it but is greatly exercised by some emails that Hiillary sent!! I think it behooves us Democrats to put pressures on the papers to continue investigations. We should continue to Tweet the story until election day and afterwards.

The one who was 13, but she keeps cancelling at the last minute. They can't attest to her credibility and she won't give an interview, so they don't feel they can publish her account.

the rape charges

There are some very disturbing things going within the country, and when you have a report that the FBI has been compromised, and it is hardly being covered by our illustrious press, our democracy is in serious trouble.

When at least 1 out of 5 people believe President Obama is not an American citizen, that is an indictment of the media, and its 24/7 blaring of hate talk radio that controls 90% of the airwaves.

This election is the election of our lives
