The Thought Processes Might have Led to Dismissing Hillary News

  As I consider on why a winding-down DOJ investigation basically clearing Hillary Clinton made little news, I think I perhaps see the answer.
  Now, news clearing Hillary would seem to be massively big news. If it didn't receive big play, big attention, then, off top, it would seem to be because the media are biased against her, or biased for Trump, or biased for all conservative causes. Biased, anyway.
  But, I think I see a little more, here. I've been considering on the thought processes of mankind. I would say, we often reject things simply because he don't give them enough thought. Perhaps we are too busy to think about the significance of them. Perhaps it takes too much mental effort and we don't want to expend the effort. Perhaps it is because the matter goes against our own biases and beliefs and so our mind shields us from giving it thought.
  At any rate, it is due to our failure to think.
   Some news people might have well downplayed the story knowingly. Some might have looked around and saw how others were shifting it to the side, and decided they, too, were justified in not giving it real big attention. Some might have downplayed it because President Trump is always singing of how the media is against him, and they feared being the biased media he refers to.  We'll run it, they said, but we will take a middle-of-the-road approach by not overdoing it.
  But, I suggest a lot it might be that they didn't think it through. Had they, it would seem they would have realized - they would have been forced by reason to realize -- just how significant the story was and they would have given it all the attention it deserves.
