The news media very much did cover this. I'm guessing you just don't read them and just assumed they don't. CNN covered it in several places. Here is an example.

If you want to get a little better history of his past, a local paper is a good place to look. He didn't get along well at Buzzfeed exactly because he had very far right views.

And yet, the democrat party leadership is still blaming Trump. They can't take responsibility for the democrat party's own words of incitement while painting 75million voters with extremely broad strokes.

What part of “Peacefully and Patriotically Make Your Voices Heard,” don't you understand. That is Trump's words. YOU are part of the problem.

Was there and that was pretty much the impression of most of the people when we heard about the violence. Everyone kept saying, "That's not us!" "We're peaceful!" "It's a false flag!" And I was with the 99.9% of supporters that didn't want any part of violence. We simply wanted Congress to hear the evidence and request a full audit of the elections in the contested states. What happened when the evidence did start to get presented, the Democrats made a big stink and Congress went into recess. The violence occurred even before Trump was finished speaking. And because of that. they declared a curfew at 1800. Congress didn't reconvene till 2000, 2 hrs AFTER! all the demonstrators had been dispersed. This all played right into their plan. They were there to install Biden and to blame Trump for the violence so they could impeach him again. It was so obviously and totally scripted. I knew better than to go inside the Capitol or to get violent with the police. It was a trap and the crowd was angry because the voice was being ignored by a tone-deaf Congress and DOJ that weren't interested in hearing the evidence.

Trump started his speech an hour late and ran long because I think he knew that something was going to go down and he didn't want his supporters there when it happened. He was speaking at the Ellipse (in the National Mall) and the violence took place at the Capitol, several blocks away. He urged a peaceful demonstration and he was only telling the TRUTH when he said the election was STOLEN. IT WAS!

If anyone bothered to look at the evidence, which of course Congress hasn't and the Supreme Court refuses to, it's compelling. Watch the State Hearings! The testimony and sworn affidavits of a thousand poll workers and expert witnesses is corroborated by timelines, video, data, etc. Despite what the lamestream media propagandists call "baseless accusations" and "no evidence," IT IS EVIDENCE! The lamestream media thinks that THEY, NOT US! should decide who leads this country. I quit Cable TV when FOX News tried to lynch Trump in the 1st GOP Debate. It was such an obvious attempt to knock him out of the race. Trump won against all odds and so many people voted for him that it overwhelmed the amount of election fraud the Democrats could get come up with. This time they had their fix in.

For the last four years, the Democrats, Lamestream Media, Social Media and Big Tech have been running a coup against this President. They desperately don't want the truth to come out. THAT is why they are suppressing Conservative Free Speech, shutting down Parler, and banning Conservatives from Social Media. THAT is why they are calling for NewsMax, OAN, FOX News, etc. to be shut down. The Truth is like Kryptonite to them. They can't stand it to be anywhere near them because it exposes their weakness... and more importantly -- their failed policies, myriad of scandals, and criminal activity! They believe they are above the law and don't have to answer to us! I am still holding out hope that it's not too late to save our Founding Father's experiment in Freedom and Democratic self-rule.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Experience has taught us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession, and when the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

I believe the fix is in. The narrative they are promoting on both sides of the aisle is a scripted, sounding like a broken record. The few who are speaking out are being driven out so they can seize more control without opposition. This is the communist takeover that we were warned about and that is why they have 25k troops with deadly force authorization in dc. They are only there to guard their seizure of control.
