Who Are They Kidding?

Raw Story asked people on the hill why the Democrats and the press seems so reluctant to cover the Manchurian Beefcake scandal and got some interesting rationales, none of which are the least bit believable.

First:


“The reason that people don’t want to talk about the sex angle in the story is that we all know that the mainstream media will not pick up the story,” the aide said.

The aide said reporters from varying print and television outlets expressed to him that they had felt duped after the sex scandals hyped around former President Bill Clinton.

“I think that you have a different culture with the mainstream media than you did than you did during the Clinton scandal,” he remarked. “I think in some ways that they’ve learned their lesson from that incident and many reporters feel that they were duped during that scandal into the kind of coverage that they were by the salacious nature, and I think there’s a resistance by the mainstream media to go down that road again.


But note this little tidbit that I didn't know before:

Armstrong Williams, was sued by his male assistant for sexual harrassment and settled it for an undisclosed sum.

2. MSM are paid off under CIA's Operation Mockingbird for decades

and they don't want to be cut off from CIA provided storylines either. They want to be and remain 'patriotic' puppydog media they've learned to become since the '40's. Master says 'roll over' and 'play dead' on this one...what do you expect ?

Also, the potential exposing of a military angle on this (Army PsyOps domestic) is giving them the willies too. Can't do that just like in the MLK assassination. Military 'intelligence' units all over that one too. Can't report it nope.

Sounds like RainMan there, 'can't report it nope...got to watch Jeopardy now'

3. The Media will cover it when......

Gannon's blue shirt is discovered with Chimpy's "DNA" stains all over it.....I can only WISH!
