10. Where's The UMW?
They've been very quiet lately. I've only seen quotes from them on the blogs and precious little on the corporate media. Now if they bought some commerical time on CNN wanna bet they'd get on one of those talking head panels?

The real dirty story here is how the corporate media is being bought off...still allowing Murray to spew his lies despite knowing it's all bullshit. Sadly, I think the game plan here is to drag this story beyond the corporate media's short-term attention. Soon there'll be another dead blonde or drunk Hollywood startlet or other distractions...the cameras will be packed up, the search will be called off, the mine sealed and Murray goes his merry little way.
