CBS news is all over Mangate ......

[Botany]

..... opps no, another story on the "tapes" and their explosive contents
but tomorrow they will cover AVALANCHES a story that effects us all.

Good God what does Rove have to make the media roll over and play dead?

:grr:

[NYCGirl]

1. Access. It all comes down to access. NT

[Straight Shooter]

5. Why do they need access? Why not make it all up as they go along?

That's what they do at the White House. So, what's the difference?

You would think they'd stand behind their man Rather and try to get some retribution by at least digging into how Guckert/Gannon was involved with the memo fiasco. Whatta buncha wimps.

[NYCGirl]

7. No access and you might as well be Talon News...or less.

Maybe you'll get some press releases, but even so, your news division is finished.

[LizW]

2. ABC didn't touch it either, as far as I could tell

California weather, the tapes, Bush in Yurp. That was as far as I got before switching it off.

3. Hey, Botany

Someday, our kids are going to remember that we used to get information from the state-controlled media. And they will roll their eyes.

Come to think of it, mine already do :hi:

6. "Blow up your tv/ throw away the paper"

Hey, is SF EFF the org that Craig belongs to?

8. I haven't heard Gannon's name mentioned anywhere

on MSM in the past few days. They gave it limited coverage for a day or two, then checked the "we-covered-that" box and moved on to the next breaking story, (sanitized for your protection by the Bush Administration, of course).

17. KO's show today. And I'm guessing "Daily Show" tonight; and probably

Bill Maher too.

We mustn't despair. Just keep putting it out there. With time...with time. Watergate did NOT happen overnight.

20. wow was that an acid flash back? nt

[0007]

9. ...for a brief second I had hope

0h Fuck!

[CatWoman]

10. I know

I hate asshole teases like this

[Dr Fate]

11. Who is stopping Hillary, Kerry, Dean & Obama from talking about it on TV?

????

[Quakerfriend]

12. Exactly.......... and who has gagged Lautenberg, after he showed

such interest initially??

[Dr Fate]

13. Why anyone expects the media to "uncover" itself is beyond me...

"And up next, more on how corrupt and untrustworthy we are..."

Please- if this story dies, it wil b/c top DEMS refused to talk about it on TV.

[Al-CIAda]

14. YES- Our 'leaders' are SELL OUTS -eom

[Dr Fate]

15. That- or just frightened like a bunch of little girls...

...sometimes I cant decide- besides a handful of them...

[LisaLynne]

16. The media was absorbed a long time ago.

They're nothing but corporate and government mouthpieces now. It really is up to us to find some other way to get the message out there. One thing this Gannon thing has done was it did get the blogs mentioned. There are people who have been starved for some real info that are checking them out now, who didn't before. That's a start.

[librechik]

19. it's all about stockholders and the bottom line

not about news at all.

We don't do that anymore.

[MADem]

21. Monday Holiday=The "B" Team

Daily Show was a rerun. The lamestream shuts down over a three day weekend, and puts in the substitute players.

The GannonCannonMandate story isn't done yet. They need to ping hard on Bobby Eberle, and find out where his cash came from, how he met Guckert, who gave him the idea to set up Talon News just for him...

I think the digging has just begun. Watergate took a while too.

22. As a general rule,

I let jerky "gotcha" posts like this just go by.
Not this time. Have you nothing better to do? How about spending some of your time doing some investigating, or something useful to your fellow citizens, rather than rolling a rock down a hill just to get to watch people jump out of the way?

[CatWoman]

23. somebody had to say it

thanks.

[EST]

24. You're welcome.

By the way, although I'm sure I've seen your answer to this question before I can't remember the answer; how many of the furry darlings have you? We have eleven, currently. Kitten season is due, soon. We turn a lot of kitty food into fertilizer.
To misquote Rob Heinlein, it's amazing-the number of reople who can't abide a simple, honest cat.
