I'm beginning to think some in the media are getting backbones |
|
and are not going to start reporting what BUSHCO doesn't want "us" to know. ie: Dateline, Olbermann,Ohio fraud being covered more.
Or am I getting to hopeful?

With stem cell research pretty much stymied, the press doesn't have a chance of growing a backbone.
I've given up on them.

5. No. What's happening is.... |
|
the media sees, that the blackout just took a big hit with the Diebold guy tampering with the equipment. They will now try to "handle" the obvious, by doing their version of "move on, nothing to see here"
The stories aren't going away, so now they have to reassure the people they propagandized into thinking everything is fine, that despite evidence to the contrary, things really ARE fine.
It has nothing to do with a backbone, and everything to do with covering Bush. Des
