2. And, as usual, the MSM "swallows"
and then promptly and politely regurgitates.

5. This story is too compelling to ignore...
Edited on Sun Feb-20-05 06:36 PM by 8_year_nightmare
The media knows that if they don't report this story, the bloggers will continue to do so anyway, possibly exposing the media's shameful cover-up of the dirty business.

The issue of how this underachiever was able to get daily WH passes so easily & effortlessly despite his background is too much to ignore. Who got him in so frequently without FBI checks?

Why are certain reporters being bribed to hawk this administration's policies? Why is the taxpayers' money being used to pay them off? How many more reporters that haven't been outed yet are involved in taking bribes from this image-conscious, media-controlling administration?

Who are the ethical journalists who are fed up of being used as WH propaganda devices & will use this story as a golden opportunity to put a stop to WH media control?

7. Only a Matter of Time before this catches
If it weren't for the salacious sub-plot this would wither and die.

It's gonna be big because even the right-wing religious nuts will be unable to ignore that aspect of it.

Eventually, word of mouth will bring this a head.
Let's hope that the issue of the President basically controlling the media doesn't get lost in the tabloids.
