CM(Corporate Media) has a new back door to covering real f'ing stories. The LA Times has an editorial column called "Outside the Tent," meaning outside their normal coverage. They let Aravosis write an article complaining about their
non coverage of "Gannon". Good Lard they are clever...don't cover the story and they when it gets obvious, cover it through a back door complaint by the people that broke the story.
LET THEM HAVE ITAravosis wrote this editorial in the LAT (link provided)

Here is my letter to the LA Times Reader Representative. I have a link provided for any of the funnsters who want to slap them around:
I was pleased that you ran the following editorial: OUTSIDE THE TENT
Sex, Lies and Spies: This Isn't News? by John Aravosis regarding "Gannon" and Talon News. There is a wide spread opinion among Democrats that the NYT, WashPost, and LAT put their corporate and regulatory interests above coverage; and that they avoid pointing out scandals in the Bush administration to help their corporate needs. You are now known as CM (the Corporate Media) by many. Your lack of coverage of the "Gannon" affair is stunning. You are losing a huge segment of your market. You foster this impression by continuing to ignore "Gannon" after months and months of covering Lewinsky, a scandal that had no national security implications. What is your problem? What are you afraid of?
Address: LA Times Readers Representative
