Reply #13: What worries me

[yodermon]

is the public reaction. The press has NOT been covering this in the way that the public has come to expect for a scandal. The Clenis coverage was saturation-level for months and months on end, and when impeachment came, everyone was expecting it.

Now, look at the headlines of your local paper over the last week. CNN does not have a word about this on their home page. The Post has "Bush and Bono have lunch". If Fitzgerald indicts 22 members of the Cheney/Bush administration, no one will believe it. I can only hope that one effect of this will be for Joe Public to develop an deep and pervasive contempt for the corporate media cartel, saying "Why the f*ck didn't you warn us about this? You mean you didn't know? How could you not know? Where was the non-stop coverage in the lead-up to indictments? Why should we ever believe a single thing that you ever even say again??"

Prepare for massive cognitive dissonace. No one I talk to knows a damn thing about this.
