That's not how it work.
Unless there is something new to say, people will get tired of seeing always the same thing and will stop looking at the news source that keeps talking about something that is going nowhere.
Regarding the media, I don't think we need big conspiracies, they just want money.
Yes, some may be more inclined to suppose one side of the political divide, but they all act the same regarding money, and if it's something can make them get less money they will drop it as fast as they can.

I expected much more open and direct media 'echoes' of the admonishment to "the public" to "not listen to that voice from slimy basement dwellers living off their parents largesse." Sadly (for them,) the group of people who DO scrutinize the event are not confrontable that way, it might seem. We are now so often correct that it is counter-productive to pretend you rely on "branding" conspiracy theorists.
Exactly. I think the media has stopped pushing that trope because the CT community has been proven correct now so many times that the they are no longer Conspiracy Theories but Conspiracy Facts.
I also think a contingent of the voting class, in the post-Covid era, has finally come to the realization that all the "BS" us CT'ers have been going on about might not actually be BS after all. I've definitely noted a few people in my personal life that have kind of quietly come to me wanting to know more now and admitting that they realize they've been bamboozled. They are now questioning everything the government says and does. It would be hard for the media to retain subscribers and viewership if they're calling their customer base a "deplorable basket of conspiracy theorists."

If they were having a real investigation there would be something new to say every day.
9/11 was in the news cycle practically daily for almost 2 years. So was the '08 crash. Attempted assassinations? Eh, nothing to see here! The Trump assassination attempt got less airtime than the Russian Dossier, and less investigation too.
And what you say about the media and money is dead on and that's just it - news should not be a for-profit venture and historically, was not. News shouldn't be covered on the basis of shock value and potential earnings. The news is the news. Sometimes the news can be boring, even if its still important, but its still news. I just can't subscribe to the ideal that any news that doesn't turn a profit isn't worth reporting. We used to call that "yellow journalism."

One thing I forgot to say about the news is that one thing that changed and forced the media to act like they do now is the people's attention span.
Specially with the appearance of the "social networks", people got used to rapidly changing subjects (most social networks do not even allow people to save past posts they consider important), so they want to change subject fast and get bored easily.

IMO Looking more and more like it was planned
RE: Trump shot? - 727Sky - 08-29-2024
Looking more like an inside job that the Woke crew at the FBI screwed up; as usual that is what they do best! www.youtube.com... Joe Rogan and the multiple phone tracks from D.C. to Thomas Crooks’ Home.
