Taking that into account, you would expect that it's near defeat would be making the front pages as well.
Raqqa has been retaken and ISIS themselves are now refugees escaping into refugee camps.
Why is it not being reported on a grander scale?
Because Trump is president, and we wouldn't want anything to conflict with the illusion that nothing is getting done under this president. Giving this president credit for anything is taboo.
I have to somewhat agree with this Newsweek article.
Trump did play a part in the defeat of ISIS by giving our military leaders free reign rather than having them report to the White House before any strategic move can be undertaken.
Giving free reign is a campaign promise Trump made if you recall.

Who retook Raqqa?
