I found the 2hr video the other day on Bob Salas' YouTube channel, then had far more trouble relocating it today...

"Well roared, Lion!"

It's about time the legacy media were put in the crosshairs. There have been enough crumbs put out since 12/17 for them to follow in directions that could lead to more bombshell revelations. Instead, apart from the occasional guest speculative op-ed, they appear content to slumber until the next cryptic US gov. press release (signifying nothing) stirs up the dust for a few days.

Lack of curiosity? Fear of the stigma? Pressure from DOD? Click counters signaling the "metrics" aren't favorable?

Perhaps if someone were to start a viral rumor that Gabby Petito was killed by an ET?

"Stop the presses!"

Bill, the legacy media is dead or damn near dead. In the city where I live in, 10 years ago there were four, vibrant daily newspapers. Two metro dailies, two suburban. The suburban papers are barely surviving and the metros are shadows of their former selves. The three legacy networks, ABC, NBC, CBS have had their news divisions stripped. The cable-news talking heads pay tribute once in a while but only to suck in viewers. Maybe PBS's Frontline will take a look at the issue. I guess the point I'm trying to poorly make is that legacy media doesn't have the band width to deal with this topic.

I hear 'ya! The serious reports are too serious and technical. The "conspiracy" stories are too crazy. I'm going with QAnon saying a UFO interfered with the election.

Yeah, when your reporter pool is a skeleton of its former self only a handful of beats can be regularly covered. Still, it's baffling the phenomenon isn't higher on the priorities bucket list, given all that's happened in the past three and a half years.
