YET MORE PROOF THE MEDIA IS A RW-HACKJOB (Media ignoring U.S. Attorney emails)

[berni_mccoy]

So I read the article on the front page about the emails (DU thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2766528 ).

I noticed that the article was edited to delete the content and just point to the link under fair use. I then noticed that the link was to the Guardian, which took the content DIRECTLY FROM THE House Judiciary website. Our Democratic leaders posted it there and told the press about it. So I googled the headline on Google news... nada, nothing zip in the U.S. Media (a couple of websites had it though).

I am completely fed up and disgusted. Many people here are quick to blame our Democratic Congressmen for being quiet on issues, but the reality is they are not. They talk to the press and the media but the media simply ignores them. The only ones that listen seem to be foreign sources, typically in the U.K.

WaPo broke the story, I think and NYT had a story the same day. I actually think for once, they are on top of things. :)

of practically the same google search.

9. I don't find google helpful for new news stories as much as websites

if that makes any sense. :) Or if I'm looking for archived articles I use google.

5. Your credibility just became zero

You demand identical headlines to an English paper or you go ballistic and call it 'proof'?

6. Nice to see civility hasn't been realized at DU. I didn't just google the headline

And here is a screen cap of the results for U.S. attorney emails



As a poster noted above, there is some coverage of the emails, but the MSM still seems to be spinning this as a right the President and Admin have, and ignoring the content of the emails that is so explosive to this case. Just this morning I heard one of the lawyers on CNN saying that he served at the pleasure of the president and that he wasn't upset about being dismissed, but was possibly upset about the others. How lame can that be.

8. WaPo has an entire special section: U.S. Attorney Firings Investigation

U.S. Attorney Firings Investigation including pdfs of the emails themselves. Check out the hometown paper before leaping into outrage.
