Yesterday the media, including Politico and Washington Post, reported that there was a third person in the Pelosi home who let police into the house after Paul Pelosi called 9-1-1:
David DePape forced his way into the home through a back entrance, Scott said. Officers arrived at the house, knocked on the front door and were let inside by an unknown person. They discovered DePape and Pelosi struggling for a hammer, and after they instructed them to drop the weapon, Scott said, DePape took the hammer and “violently attacked” Pelosi.
That should be kind of a big focus for the media, right? On “Meet the Press” Sunday morning, it was discussed, but only briefly. However, the “new details” ended being left at the old details.
Bizarre moment on Meet the Press this morning. @chucktodd says @Tom_Winter has “new details” about the “third person” who let the police in before the attack. Winter just reiterates what police said Friday about 3rd person and pivots to attacker’s social post. 90 seconds in here: https://t.co/Hp1kkR5ePM

Here’s the clip:
WATCH: DePape gained access to Speaker Pelosi’s bedroom, San Francisco DA tells @Tom_Winter.
“[He has] been interviewed by police. …[He is] expected to be charged on state charges tomorrow. … Federal authorities could move forward with charges in a parallel investigation.” pic.twitter.com/XYdy6NNZlN

Well… maybe Chuck Todd and his team of intrepid journalists will be able to provide more information about that person next week. Or maybe not.

The Chief of SFPD said a 3rd person opened the door. That is not a minor detail or mis-speak. https://t.co/OQnZcpQmPk

And so many reporters don’t seem curious about that in the least.
Wait? So this "third person" is just hanging around & greeting the police but not trying to stop the alleged attack?

People have a lot of questions, but the corporate media doesn’t seem nearly as curious.
