Why is there no coverage about the Gonzo hearings?
There is no story on yahoo about it.

A small story on nytimes.com

Nothing on CNN.com - what the hell is going on???????

7. The Television M$M is too busy distracting us with shiny objects.
:grr:

What irritates me most is the worst offenders think that they are legitamite instead of the Republican's butt boy and girl news models, not journalists.

Do you care Tweety? Hannity? Blitzer? :P

10. IMO, high intelligence is truly wasted on Tweety,
IMO he's a spaz and serves only to keep issues mixed together, so he can, during tomorrow's show, baffle us with his genius. :eyes:

He's sharp as a tack, but often proves to be hopelessly unpredictable if not confusing as hell. :shrug:

12. I know to google it and you know to google it
but the average dumb american doesn't even know that the hearing is occurring. Subsequently, they won't google it. Unless the information is in their face, it doesn't exist.

4. Wolfe covered it when his show first started on CNN. I'm hoping
cspan will air it tonight sometime. I know they are under contract to cover the House and Senate when they're in session, but they air the hearing coverage at night when congress has adjourned for the day.
