It's been two days now, and I've yet to hear anyone in the media that's has taken the Newsweek

article seriously. Yes Rachal and Lawrence O'Donnell have mentioned it and I've seen a couple of interviews with the reporter who broke the story. He seems to have gone through a lot of time researching this story because the Trump family did not respond to any of his questions or assist him in any way. So the typical news report on MSNBC and CNN goes something like this. Reporter goes through great lengths to lay out his story and why this would result in a major conflict of interest if Trump became president with Trump Org having over 500 undisclosed partnerships with foreigners all over the world, some who have criminal pasts. Then the host asks a Trump surrogate to respond and the surrogate immediately attacks Hillary and the Clinton Foundation. The host then moves along. That's what happens when you put pretty faces out there to report the NEWS rather than real reporters. The pretty faces frown and say, "work is hard". The Newsweek reporter has already connected the dots for them. All they have to do is ask intelligent followup questions and hound the Trump folks like they've spent the past 30 years hounding the Clintons. I really thought this story had legs yesterday, and thought we could expect the media to run with it today. Apparently I gave the media too much credit. I know that Rachel and Lawrence O'Donnell have discussed it and will probably do so again tonight. But if the rest of the media don't grab it and run with it, the story will die a quick and lackluster death.

We need to send emails to CNN and MSNBC and tell them not to let this story die. Also people here at DU can respond to the comment section of the original Newsweek article. If the story gets lots of comments, it'll show that the public is interested.
