No, it sounds to you like the media is investigating to disprove claims of fraud.
Look at my example. If 30 votes happened to come from deceased people, do you think the media would have quelled the story? Hell, no! It would be front-page, breaking news. They would get so many viewers/hits/papers sold, they would never quash such a story. People would be outraged. I would be outraged. That's a sexy story.
No, what I think is that if Trump had won, it would have been the media that found those votes and promoted the dead vote for Trump angle. They'd be trawling everwhere looking for fraud.
As far as "sexy stories" I call nonsense. Hunter Biden's laptop was a sexy story, literally a game changer. Joe Biden's connection to it? Almost a once in a generation scandal if the media wanted it to be. Corrruption in government to get Trump? Bigger story than watergate. Sexy is not the measure this media uses. It's anything, whether stolen, fraudulent, anonymous or made up if it's against Trump and nothing - whether provably true or not - if it's against Biden.
You literally had the Hunter Biden story suppressed for being "hacked information" when it wasn't hacked, while the Trump tax returns - which were literally stolen, fake or hacked - were broadly rebroadcast.
So it's just a lie you're telling yourself that "sexy" would have been allowed to undermine Biden's chances. The media was completely in the tank, and what's more you know it was, even if you keep claiming otherwise.
They couldn't confirm the story because the story was a lie. An out-and-out fabrication. Something that you happen to be ignoring. Trump and his cronies are lying to you. They are making these false accusations, out and out lies. And you're suspicious about the media because they aren't confirming them. 
Lol. Again you make assumptions. I've never said I believe Trump or the claims they are making. I've been pretty clear that our systems make it impossible to detect fraud at any scale, let alone one sufficient to "prove" the election was stolen in court. No what I've said is that the DNC made it impossible to detect fraud, is the primary beneficiary of fraud, and in this election (and the last 2 back to 2016) have done everything in their power to increase the opportunity to commit fraud. I've said we have election fraud in every election - which is a just a fact, not something that's legimtately disputable. I've pointed out that human nature lets us know that some people are unethical, that when the stakes are big (they are) and the risk of getting caught is low (it is), then it's a certainty that people will cheat.
I don't think Trump can prove it. I don't think his lawyers will prove it. I think its a travesty that we'd let this system come to exist and reprehensible that anyone would defend it's operation. I think it's beyond useless to have a media that has crossed the rubicon and now decides whether to report facts or not, based on which team will be helped.
It really really bothers me that intelligent people not only are not concerned but that they seem to be actively supporting this state. Confidence in the election, much like confidence in our laws, or in how our police interact with black people, requires transparency and a commitment to be fair. It's really impossible to see how anyone can believe in the elections without those.
If you're so angry at the "liberal media" making false reports and lies, why the hell aren't you angry about Trump lying to your face for the last four years??
Mostly because everytime I've investigated I've found it's far more likely the media was lying about it than Trump. When they routinely use misrepresentations and false statements to show "Trump lied" it makes them not credible. How many times now have I been to that list of "Trump's lies" on the WP? A dozen? More? Never found it to have actual lies just great big political disagreements asserted as lies. Meanwhile, how many times has the media repeated the lie about what Trump said about Charlottesville? They knew that was a lie the first day they used it, and they've repeated it now what? 20,000 times? More? It's probably be retweeted or shared more than a billion times. That's just one lie.
How many press conferences does one have to watch where the media lied in their questions, insulted the President without cause, and ultimately heard the response from Trump clearly a dozen times and then ran with a story that completely misrepresented it? It was a game for them to show how terribly they could misrepresent them.
No, I think the real question, is how you can still believe lies about Trump, after they've been debunked hundreds or even thousands of time and not hold the media you watch accountable for spreading them.
I mean I take it you still believe that a state media is problematic? What's the difference between a state media and a Democratic party media, really? There isn't one, the "state" media of a communist country is the same thing as the party media. This level of media collusion is not in our interests and isn't healthy. Do you really think they're going to flip the switch and report honestly on Biden's administration? They've already shown you they won't, still no difficult press conferences and maximum deference. Who is going to actually be watching for abuse where the abusers own the watchdogs?
But, of course, we've all gotten used to that. That's expected. That's not "news." That's what our country has become. That what Republicans have made this country become. 
Such a lie. Democrats control the media, they control virtually the entirety of entertainment, they control big tech. They literally are the ones that have chosen to spread lies. I would challenge you to prove your case, but we both know its just a sound bite you're repeating from professional liars that have done market research on how to maximize the impact of propaganda, and there's no actual evidence that Republicans are out there trying to spread false information.
