It's official: US journalism has an attention-span of less than 3 days.

Trump promised new revelations on hacking on Tue/Wed. Well, today is Thursday, Tuesday and Wednesday have come and gone and there was nothing.

How come no journalist is bothering with that? The President-Elect promises a shocking announcement, and then backs out without even a sliver of an explanation?

And nobody cares anymore?

Goodness I heard it five times already. Yes absolutely horrible but must we hear it over and over again. Yes if new info comes forth announce it, but so far it is the same over and over again. When I saw it on twitter last night, I knew immediately it would go national.
