Corporate media is largely ignoring an Axios report detailing Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell’s contacts with an alleged Chinese spy.
The Monday report noted that Christine Fang, the suspected spy, became close with Swalwell and even participated in his 2014 reelection campaign. Fang, who is also accused of having an affair with at least two U.S. mayors, did not donate money and there is no evidence of illegal contributions.
Fang also reportedly planted an intern in Swalwell’s congressional office, Axios noted. Swalwell was informed of Fang’s suspected ties in 2015 by the FBI via a “defensive briefing,†Axios reported. The Democratic lawmaker then cut ties with Fang and has not been implicated in any wrongdoing.
Despite the intrigue of a story involving top politicians, a Chinese spy and the FBI, media publications are largely ignoring the news, according to a Fox News report.
ABC News, CBS News and NBC News did not report the news on their morning or evening shows for the entirety of Tuesday, according to Fox News. Cable news networks did not fair much better, with MSNBC spending about five minutes of Tuesday on the report during the early hours. Meanwhile, CNN did not do any reporting on-air or on its online website, Fox News reported.
