the US media is behind with their reporting because next to no organizations were asked to help with the dredging of the docs, so they didn't know this was coming like other outlets who had videos ready to go. The charlotte chronicle, mcclathy DC, columbia school of journalism and the ICIJ were the only ones out of the 100+ worldwide who were asked to help. That being said, for CNN having nothing on their front page 6 hours after it comes out is strange. the more I think about this, the more strange it gets. hopefully some american bombs get dropped so we can enjoy the fukkery without thinking this was something other than a German employee who was tired of the corruption. like you said time will tell
