Why won’t the media cover Hillary Clinton? That was the main message during Sean Hannity’s interview with Donald Trump Jr. Tuesday night.

They both concluded that the meeting with the Russian lawyer, who apparently was a nobody, amounted to nothing and that the real problem was the media not covering Hillary Clinton’s scandals!

“And the question you people in the media need to start asking yourselves is why don’t you tell the American people every story?” Sean Hannity asked.

Sean suggested following up on Politico’s story from January that the Clinton campaign got tips from the Ukrainian government on Trump’s Russian connections, and the Clinton uranium story — remember that one?

“Remember Secretary of State Hillary Clinton? She signed off on giving up to 20 percent of America’s uranium to Vladimir Putin and the Russians and all those people in the deal, well they kicked back over $100 million to the Clinton Foundation.”

You can read that story by clicking here.

The story was accompanied by a Times editorial criticizing her for not cutting herself off from the Clinton Foundation.

But look. The news media isn’t us anymore, it’s you! If you think we’re trying to hide Hillary Clinton’s scandals, look up the Uranium story, look up the Ukraine story, and share them on Facebook. I’m sure the likes will spill from the screen.

And if not, the reason could be that no one is interested in old news about the person who lost!

That’s why you’ve never heard of the scandals of Charles Pinckney, Horatio Seymour, Winfield Hancock, or Robert LaFollette. Because they too made the mistake of running for President and coming in second!
