Rove story vanishing! Write MSM NOW!

[saracat]

this cannot be allowed to be squelched. This is a BIG story.Write everyone you can think of! Please!Even google, which had forty sites an hour ago is down to four! And no MSM even though it is an MSNBC story. We need to act.

1. It hasn't even technically happened yet....

All that's happening is one journalist on a show to air tomorrow states that Rove is the guy. Technically nothing has happened until the Time information is actually turned over.

[Imagevision]

23. I agree Time hasn't even broke the story yet because of upcoming

hearings -- this hasn't even begun yet -- dropped on a friday it's only Saturday --wait till next mid-week when all the dust has settled.

Rove; his words against mine??

[Imagevision]

25. don't forget, it took Watergate 15 months to get legs and go somewhere!

[Kahuna]

2. Has Time published the source yet? I don't think Lawrence..

O'Donnell's prediction on McLaughlin group qualifies as confirmation that Rove is the culprit.

3. It's in Newsweek

I just read it on their site.

[meppie-meppie not]

4. agreed!

:kick:

[eleny]

5. o'donnell rove plamme -- gets nothing at google

edit: on the other hand a google of -- matt cooper rove -- that gets 36 pages of hits.

[saracat]

7. That is the point .It is being buried.

It is much harder and difficult to find. It is NOT being treated as a top story!

[emulatorloo]

6. Um, It just appeared in onlineNewsweek -- it is only beginning. . .but you

are right about spreading the word. . .see this DU thread for link to Newsweek Story.

10. Thanks .Read it. Still no MSN though.We need to push this.It is appearing

and disappearing! And look who wrote it? Ishikoff(sp)! We can't trust this. We need more coverage of O'Donnell!

[Up2Late]

8. But did you see the author of the Newsweek article?

By Michael Isikoff of Newsweek! Little bit of Payback perhaps?

[saracat]

11. And a little bit of a slant too. Giving an out to Rove. Don't trust

him. Remember the deal with that woman he wrote about that was lying about Clinton and the other woman he misquoted?

[Kahuna]

21. Yeah. Seems her purposely tried to make the story as unreadable..

and confusing as he could. I plan to send him an email and call him on his poor "reporting."

[Double T]

9. This story hasn't even had a chance to be NEWS yet.........

this THING will take off next week (TUESDAY) if it is confirmed to be true. This will be the beginning of the END for the Bush Administration.

[saracat]

12. But we must make sure it becomes news. Think about it. It this was the

Clinton White House this would be front page news today! They would jump it holiday or not! They will try to bury this.We must keep it alive by nagging!

[John Q. Citizen]

13. I see your point saracat but the process will take some time.

A good tact might be to express interest in the story and ask for some investigative journalism from the corporate media.

Connect the dots between the fixing of intelligence (DSM) with the bogus Niger/uranium lie in the Pres. State of the Union address (Joe Wilson had already reported back that it was false) with the mess in Iraq. (because that's why bush's numbers are falling, Iraq.)

But let's not keep opening the oven and let the cake go flat, we need to be at least a little subtle about this until the actual e-mails are released and the story builds.

If you recall the Watergate story, it took years to fully mature and bring down the vindictive and paranoid Nixon. And we held both the House and Senate back then and also had a media that wasn't so toady.

[saracat]

15. Exactly.OTOH, we haven't got "years".

And we also didn't "know" that the media could bury things. We used to trust them. Now , we must bring the stories to them and keep at them until they do so. If it wasn't for the persistence of the public, DSM would be dead as a doornail. It still isn't as important as it should be. I have worked with MSM, and believe me, a lot of interest generates coverage because interest translates into cash.And that is the true motivator!

[John Q. Citizen]

20. You make some good points, saracat. Epecially the profit motivation

factor.

[Up2Late]

22. If this was the Clinton White House, they most likely would have...

Canceled the 4th of July Holiday, or Postponed it until the 7th or 8th.

[Lefty48197]

14. Hilarious

Do a google search on Karl Rove Plame CIA, and you'll get a link to the Guardian from the UK and to a bunch of internet news sites. Not one single story from the "mainstream" media appears on the first couple of pages of that google search. It's amazing how the American "news media" have completely abandoned their duties as journalists.

[LightningFlash]

16. Wait until more information comes out.

Then report it everywhere.

[bliss_eternal]

17. Kick

[Not_Giving_Up]

18. This is incredible!

It's nowhere on Yahoo news...Did they think no one would notice? Or will they ask Newsweek to retract what they wrote??

[IChing]

19. The Dowing Street Memo didn't hit the MSM web sites for weeks/ months

It is not weird, just a stitch in time until it grows.

goggle news "karl rove leak" there was nothing last night when it broke, one site had that search, now it is three pages.

[Up2Late]

24. Yeah, um....This is Old news....AHhhh, everyone knew it was Karl...

...months ago, Ahhhh..., isn't this story like over a YEAR old? Hey, Is that a Blond girl getting kidnapped?:hide: :yoiks:

[LightningFlash]

26. Ok enough information is out....Open the gates...

....And let it flood the airwaves, its time to make headlines.

[tandem5]

27. corporate media aint on internet time...

we should use this time to prepare for the coming pr battle.

[Jane Austin]

28. Request a Google or other source News Alert

That at least should show up as a blip somewhere.
