The MSM happily reported on a wide assortment of items taken by the FBI, including over 1,000 documents that did not have classified markings, several "articles of clothing/gift item" entries and hundreds of printed news articles. Among the items seized were 18 documents marked as top secret, 54 marked as secret, 31 marked as confidential and 11,179 government documents or photographs without classification markings.

The reaction from the MSM, Democrats and Joe Biden was predictable.
During an interview on "60 Minutes" from September, Biden was asked about the viral photograph of top secret documents spread across the floor by the FBI following the raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
"When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at Mar-a-Lago, what did you think to yourself looking at that image?" CBS' Scott Pelley asked.
"How that could possibly happen, how one anyone could be that irresponsible," Biden responded. "And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods. By that, I mean, names of people helped or et cetera."
"And, it's just totally irresponsible." Biden added.
So...fast forward to January 9, 2023 when we learn that Biden’s personal attorneys found 10 classified documents while searching the president’s academic office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington last year. The White House notified the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the findings, prompting the DOJ to launch a review of the incident, according to Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president. Some of these documents, according to a source familiar with the classified documents, contain U.S. intelligence memos and briefing materials on Iran, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, though it is unclear what exact information is contained.
Given all of that, one would think this would be Front Page News, right? Well, think again. Thanks to the fact that Journalism is Dead in America, it's not important enough to be above the fold on the CNN homepage today.
