......This story should be 24/7 coverage on the MSM. But it won't be. We all know why. The Corporate owned MSM is neither "liberal" nor "informative".

It simply exists as an electronic version of People Magazine and as a mouthpiece for WAR and its PROFITEERS

1. K&R...amazing how solidified the "liberal" media myth is in the public mind
FOX serves as a red herring of sorts re this too: it lures people into thinking they'll get objective reporting/analysis from the other mainline outlets. Not.

3. Add That To This List
We are in the midst of an economic free-fall...people are losing homes, jobs and hope. We have a health care system in gridlock where millions can't get adequate care or afford it. We have an infrastructure that is crumbling...much of it long neglected while billions go flying out the door for a war for profit. There an educational system that has been NCLB'd to death...and cut backs on college loans and grants that lock the doors of a higher education to all but the well-off. And that doesn't even get into the scandals and crimes of the boooosh cabal.

Nope...we need to play morality games and look at politics like a bloodsport. It's a game for the corporate media...they control it and if they deem something "important" it's important...real important things get ignored or downplayed.

Scandals aren't sexy...they can't scare or piss people off like an uppity black minister. The corporate media doesn't want the lens turned on them...and the more they feel they are being "attacked" cause people won't buy their bullshit, the more bullshit they pile on. Thank goodness there are filters around it...and that we must continue to stand up to their propaganda and not get caught up in their games and agenda.

Cheers...
