The mainstream media papered over a significant aspect of Golden Sachs chief legal counsel Kathy Ruemmler’s decision to leave her position following the release of emails showing her close friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Before landing a job at the investment firm,Ruemmlerwas White House counsel for Barack Obama for three years from 2011 to 2014, spanning his first and second terms.
It would seem that of her two claims to fame, serving as Obama’s top lawyer is the more newsworthy.
Yet major establishment media outlets, likeThe New York Times,CBS, theAssociated Press,CNN, andUSA Today, said nothing about the Obama connection in their headlines.
The Associated Press and USA Today at least put it in the lede sentence of their articles. The New York Times and CNN waited until the fifth paragraph of their respective stories to mention Obama.
TheNew York Postput it in the second paragraph, andBloombergin its third paragraph.
The Federalist editor-in-chiefMollie Hemingwaycalled out CNN for its reporting, posting on social media, “Love that you’re downplaying the most newsworthy thing about her — she was Obama’s White House counsel. Cuz that’s what news organizations do.”
