lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.
Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.

Trump Posted a Video of Himself Dumping Excrement on Our Cities. It’s a Glimpse of His Deepest Drives.

“This weekend, I was surprised to learn that Donald Trump seems to see himself in the same way I do: as a would-be monarch spraying the citizenry with excrement.”

The buried lede here is that the woman he had an affair with committed suicide through self immolation

Impossible to bury the lede here. It’s all lede. All the way down. To the centre of the earth.
Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.

Totally agree—the lede should have said “infamous convicted felon”
I’m not saying that newspapers should support copy editors so that I’ll stop ragging on news story glitches like this, but

But that’s what I’m saying.
You can tell this @washingtonpost.com reporter doesn't know what "infamous" actually means because they'd never describe Trump as notoriously bad or wicked.
