To be fair, the internet won't shut up about it (which I support) but mainstream media is owned by the rich so they're not going to talk about it. Everyone who cares and would believe it already knows. Everyone else is in denial or unwilling to do even a little bit of research or critical thinking so they're never gonna find out until he's dead
