Day two of the media being married to the Weiner story
so what else are they NOT covering?

Oh yes there is this three reactor meltdown... for example.

Did I mention a few tornadoes, as in HUGE tornadoes, that might be proving global weather change is real...

Then there is SC justice and his problems with tax cheating.

The wars... yes the wars...

But let's talk about Wiener and his wiener.

This is why I actually LISTEN to the BBC, and read the Guardian, and other media. This is not news, what they do... but DISTRACTION.

Yes we can chew gum and all that, but this story belongs at the END of the news cast, not the ONLY THING, new shiny...

1. Day 2 - this has been their obsession since middle of last week
They just can't let go of this story. It is throbbing in their hands.

2. Am I correct on this? I understand
the woman who got the picture from Weiner appeared on ABC and received $10,000 for the interview. If true and she is to appear in front of some committee on "ethics" against Weiner, would not the money she received negate anything she might have to say before the committee? Wouldn't she be perceived to having been purchased? I've got to stop reading Michael Connelly books!

3. She cashed in... that is the way I read it
This is the way this is.

Should she be discounted, maybe. But she saw a chance to cash in during a time in our history where our media has been fully corrupted.

Also 10K to her, for a story they have to invest, tops four hours in production... post production et al. Now how much would it cost to do a REAL investigative story on oh I don't know how corrupted the NRC has become by the Nuclear industry?

It's entered the comedy hour and the merchants of the nooz do not realize just how much of a joke they have become.

6. Not that the Washington media establisment will ever
cover a WEATHER, as in global weather change, story.

Nor one that affects Americans outside of the DC\New York circle.

But IT IS A PENIS...

I know, tragic, huh?
