There is a virtual media blackout on the repuke violence story

I'm off today. Nothing on GMA, nothing on Today Show, nothing on evening news. Oh but they DID cover McPalin.

1. Thats probably a good thing

Non stop coverage would likely just create copycats.

11. The only references I've seen

have offered the Cantor hoax as equivalent to attacks on Democrats. The only detail about those attacks has been that provided by Rachel. It does seem that the story is being stifled and/or presented deceptively.

2. I would imagine there will be no mention of their violence on the

Sunday morning crap fests either. Palin and McC will be the subject matter, I'm sure.

3. Honestly, I say good. The people who need to know,

including average Americans are aware of the situation.

The best thing, IMO, is to move on to new news. Keep an eye, keep the police, FBI and Secret Service on it but leave the media out.

We don't need aggrandize it. The media beast's hunger cannot be satisfied, ever. It won't be enough, they will want more.
