how can we beat the Friday evening news release cycle?
and other off hour -- off cycle releases of embarassing information? How can we kick up some news releases such that they hit MSM on prime time instead?

Oh, yeah, and how can we monitor the Dracula hour in Congress. Where the RW makes last minute changes in the wee hours of the morning?

1. Good question
I've been wondering the same thing. Maybe a weekly thread on the greatest page or something were everyone could post info. As far as a efficient means of gathering the info, I have no idea.

How about a series of websites that engage in journalistic research? (The kind that reporters used to be expected to do.) These "Web-logs" could disseminate information among activists and informed citizens, thus fleshing out the story over the weekend.

Behind these "web-logs" there could be a another series of web-sites that do nothing but aggregate the stories and filter out the tin-foil hat material from the serious journalism. Perhaps one of these these "news portals" would even offer counterpoints to encourage critical thinking?

By Monday, the on-line buzz would force the whores in the Corporate Media to address the stories that were dumped on Friday.

Do you think such a plan could be implimented?

3. Eliminating Karl Rove Is The Only Answer I See
Push for impeachment is the right way to start. With the shrub gone, we'll be in a better place to remove Cheney for his lies, too.

Once they're gone, KKKarl will have no one to help and he can kiss his salaried position at State goodbye.
