Note that the media is excited-yet are taking no responsibility for NOT
doing their jobs. It is almost sickening watching msnbc and cnn right now (except Cafferty).

4. Nothing will happen without...
.. our help, our outrage... call the media, write to them, email your senator to ask for them to support this.

2. Reading your post made me think of a chicken with its head cut off -
lots of activity, but the brain is missing. Post-Cronkite media seems to be just that and worse - loads of stuff, but no moral compass, no grounding - no ability to discern and report the truth - all in it for money (ratings) or ego. It really does make one sick to see it.

5. Too bad it's not the 14th century
A couple of severed heads on spiked gates usually put a word out to not do something.

6. media hit by collateral from the Dems this afternoon.
They have consistently believed that only the republican point of view was worthy. The Dems announced today that the reports of their Deaths were greatly exaggerated. Dems have to do this MORE often to keep the media focused.

The bush/republican message today was obliterated by Dems! :bounce:
