Reply #1: Think about it: The Sports Media is the last really functional media in Imperial Amerika [View All]

That fact, that Tillman's voice could have been squashed off of CNN and Faux and MSRNC, who's curious patronage of Olbermann runs counter to almost everyone else they employ over there, misses the larger point:

CNN and FAUX might have been able to suppress the Tillman story but ESPN and Fox SPORTS would have given him a voice.

You see, for the moment the Sports Media hasn't been targeted by Royal and Loyal Bushies, for one thing, most of those guys still believe the lie of the Free Pres and Free America, that they exist meaningfully anymore, they might actually act like Loyal Americans when confornted with Loyal Bushie Intimidation Tactics, and they are often rich enough to not need their jobs so bad.

Although, I'm guessing that the Tillman story and coverup hammered home the necessity of somehow making inroads into and controlling/bullying/intimidating the Sports Media into being more like the pitiful and cowed MSM.

We shall see. In any case, I stand by my comment that the Sports Media is the best example of pure Free American Journalism at work. Crazy, isn't it?
