Why is there little or no discussion of the fourth estate, the press
Why is that? I really would like to read some dialog going on this subject as I see it as our Achilles heel. Without the press we cannot get anywhere with any types of reforms which this country so badly needs. The impeachment vote of yesterday gets no coverage here at my place this morning by the talking heads.

1. They're too busy "agreeing" that Giuliani will be the next President, you see!!
They can't be bothered with silly things like what CONGRESS got up to, now, can they?

4. they're too busy being part of the "liberal media" establishment
:sarcasm:

The problem is that most people think there is at least some truth to the liberal media lie because the RW has been pounding that theme for almost 40 years now. We've only started to fire back the last few years and we have a long road to go.
