Bush Propagandist Wolf Blitzer's top story is Steroids in Baseball
One would think there would be more important stories to carry.
Evidently, today's 49 to 51 Senate vote allowing oil drilling in Alaska's wildlife refuge deserves no comment. Especially since republicans avoided the necessity of getting 60 votes to break a filibuster. They did this by simply including future oil revenues from the refuge in the budget.
This is a terrible precedent. The republicans have just found a new way to circumvent the democratic process by including hypothetical revenues in the budget.
Will the importance of this story ever be discussed by the mainstream media outlets?
Watching CNN has become about as enriching as reading the National Inquirer.
