You know, we really have to impeach these bastards.

Yes when your house is dirty and your neighbors are complaining to code enforcement about the shitpile in your yard. It is time to call in the clean up crew and put your country in order. Thanks for remiminding us.

The MSM is a propoganda tool of the corporations, hence they will of course not carry any of what they consider setbacks over FISA. Honest to goodness, TASS and PRAVDA had more integrity than the MSM.

Its not strange at all. It is similar to the monstrous gaffe made by the music industry with regards to DRM and MP3s. The MSM (traditionally print media) is getting passed by due to technology (the internet).

Local and national news programs have been struggling for years against improved entertainment television. With the writer’s strike and the loss of writer supported television shows, even less are watching TV than would be anyway (and TV has already been experiencing lowered viewership!!).

Take all of these together and I think we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the relevance of the consolidated media’s power of information dissemination.

Unfortunately, I think this process is much slower than I would like. It would be easy to overestimate its effect when caught in the echo chamber of like-minded bloggers and news sites sympathetic to our own viewpoints.

Still no MSM play on this story, frontloaded on SOTU or soaked up in
the endorsement news, still no excuse for no coverage of this event.
Strange even for these times.

Like the kid who losses playing basketball on the court, then takes his ball aways so no one can play! MSM corporate is compromise with a dose of ED, and in need of a dose of Vi*gra. KO is one of a select few who has the testicular fortitude, calling creeps, creeps, when they are creeps!!!!
