One of the news channels I use quite regularly is TLDR - it's actually a family of channels with separate channels for the UK, Europe, business, etc. - had a VERY  interesting item on a recent episode of their Daily Briefing. The episode is two weeks old but I only just heard it today:

I am surprised that I didn't see this discovery mentioned elsewhere in the past couple of weeks. They don't claim to have found INTELLIGENT life - which would obviously be a huge deal - but just finding something what very much appears to indicate life on another planet seems like pretty big news to me.

I suppose the discovery has been overshadowed by other news; Trump- bashing is obviously far more interesting to the media than life on another world!

 Though only a raised probability of life, I saw it mentioned in numerous places.

I believe there were *two* similar reports of conditions suggesting life on two *different* extraterrestrial planets in the past few weeks; I saw reports of the OTHER one but not this one. This one is different because the experts say that the chemical found, dimethyl something, could ONLY be produced by living things (as far as is known).

But not until how have I seen it connected to Trump...
 

I don't know where you get your news but my Google feed contains a very large proportion of Trump stories. It's not unreasonable to suspect that some stories get missed due to Trump dominating headlines.
