So far none of the major outlets have covered this story but I have seen it on a ton of smaller sites. This seems odd
The big ones are waiting to be told who the scapegoat is.
They're real though, here are the files from the justice department (2nd one is the one they're describing):

Yours came up 404 and my first thought was they were recalled again.
Thanks, I don't know what happened there.
Yeah I know I'm just wondering why they aren't reporting this huge story even the outlets that don't like trump aren't reporting it yet
I mean there is a really simple obvious explanation. They have either been told not to or are afraid of repercussions from the administration
Repercussions? Like getting your head blown off?
I mean, Oklahoma sets that precedent
They might be real files, but they might just be unproven accusations.
Because it is a claim made by one single person 25 years ago, as far as we currently know. The big outlets or at least some of them probably have someone on the ground right now trying to establish whether this claims makes any sense, whether this death actually happened, whether with this specific cause of death etc etc. They know that Trump will sue them if they get even a tiny slither of facts wrong.
Ideally, the bigger guys would be trying to corroborate the story by other means before reporting it. Verify facts before reporting claims. Generally the purpose of journalism.
Not that I have much faith left that the big guys do journalism.
That is because it’s an FBI tip likely left by a mentally ill person. Read the whole thing.
Most of the “unredacted” stuff is of this nature. We are being played. What they did was hand America one of those archaeology digs for kids and people who don’t understand what was done are crowing about the mummy they found in the compacted sand they chipped away with their plastic chisel.
If it was a Democrat in the story, it would be the top story EVERYWHERE.
From yesterday: Trump demands DOJ release all the names of Democrats related to the Epstein investigation
(The article name has since been changed; I got it from this post)
How many major outlets aren’t owned by trump supporter?
My usuals are NPR, PBS, and NBC but I haven't seen anything from them
the last 2 depends on funding, so they might be compromised i dont know about NBC isnt it owned by comcast which is trump leaning anyways? whos the owner.
It’ll get a small mention soon, when they’ve all decided how to Bari the lede.
the MSM are largely trumpers/conservative owners now. they arnt reporting it, because it potentially hurts the republicans, also executives, ceos and politician both foreign and domestic.
