My prediction for tonight MSM: 99% Ramsey,1% Judge rejects secret wiretaps
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14393611/

DETROIT - A federal judge ruled Thursday that the government’s warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate halt to it.

U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor in Detroit became the first judge to strike down the National Security Agency’s program, which she says violates the rights to free speech and privacy as well as the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.


I appreciate the fact that we're closer to solving the murder of this lil girl; although disgusted over the thousands of other children missing or murdered that MSM doesn't give a rat's ass about.

But this ruling is major and MSM (which everyone knows I don't watch) will totally bury under everything Ramsey

1. You're probably right . . .

Jon-Benet, is, after all, a dead white girl, which trumps everything.

But as unfortunate as it is to not get the MSM coverage that this buttkicking deserves, the fact remains that the judge has given a HUGE yank on Schimpanski's choke-chain, and this issue has much longer legs than the sad story of 10-year-old murder.

3. Unless You TUNE OUT MSM And Watch Only Countdown
I betcha Keith leads with the wire tap story, or at least devotes a good segment to it early in the program.

But don't let that stop you afternoon garbage lovers from wasting your time watching Tweety, Blitzer, et al, and then coming here to complain when they Completely Ignore the wire tap story....or cover it from the Repub point of view.

8. They needed Adrian Monk to solve the Ramsey case
He could've solved it in days... the killer would have been found, arrested, tried, and this whole thing could be ancient history by now. It should not have taken ten fucking years!

10. Probably Because KKKarl RRRove Ordered Them To Do It, Eh?
They're just following orders. :rofl: It's like watching Quahog 5 News.



I'll bet The News Hour will lead off with the NSA story. (RRRove can't control PBS... except by taking away their funding.)

15. Optimist
A whole percentage point devoted to a judge ruling that the Bush administration is breaking the law? You must not watch much cable news, missy.
