Which MSM did you have in mind? It was news at the time, and it was in major news media.

Three Men Plead Guilty to Conspiring to Provide Material Support to a Plot to Attack Power Grids in
Three men pleaded guilty today to crimes related to a scheme to attack power grids in the United States in furtherance of white supremacist ideology.
According to court documents, Christopher Brenner Cook, 20, of Columbus, Ohio; Jonathan Allen Frost, 24, of West Lafayette, Indiana, and of Katy, Texas; and Jackson Matthew Sawall, 22, of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. The charge and plea agreements indicate that the defendants knew and intended that the material support they conspired to provide would be used to prepare for and carry out the federal offense of destroying energy facilities.
These three defendants admitted to engaging in a disturbing plot, in furtherance of white supremacist ideology, to attack energy facilities in order to damage the economy and stoke division in our country, said Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew G. Olsen. The Justice Department is committed to investigating and disrupting such terrorist plots and holding perpetrators accountable for their crimes.
These defendants conspired to use violence to sow hate, create chaos, and endanger the safety of the American people, said U.S. Attorney Kenneth L. Parker for the Southern District of Ohio. As this case shows, federal and state law enforcement agencies are dedicated to working together to protect this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
