Zero mention of today's Congressional debate on CBS evening news
is this not considered news? Surley the wacky warning labels, Andrea Yates or religion/tsunami segments could be cut.

2. I know.......I had actually hoped there's be a CBS mention
I knew it wouldn't break ABC or NBC. I guess I'll just have to wait for Ohlberman.

4. NBC covered it.
said why it was significant, showed a couple of Democrats and a couple of republicans, finished by saying that Democrats didn't expect it to overturn the election but wanted to shine a light on the need for voting reform.

7. you expected any different?
it's like the people here who expect "there'll be more talk about voter fraud/irregularities, and *then* we'll hit 'em with the facts and it'll get played all over america!" newsflash, corporate media, they can kill stories faster than you can create interest. it's called lockdown.

yes, we live in a fascist state. the time for parlay has ended.
