DSM the so called MSM and distribution
it just ocurred to me.... CNN did not run it... MSNBC did not run it... (we had an earthquake after the car chase, didn't you know) but Randi Rhodes covered it... and even ran the feed.

Think folks of the so many drivers who will be caught in city traffic with the hearings, even if there is her coment?

In other words folks, we are the media and we are replacing the stenography corp.

So there is somethign else happening folks, things are moving and changing and we may very well look back at this week as the tipping point and the begining of the end. To those who listened to the hearings online... we did our duty... but I'd say the news is now in our hands

So now the question is... what are we gonna do with this new power we seem to be getting?

1. IMO- it is our moral obligation to keep the American people informed.
The way that we do that must be done in a responsible and ethical manner. You are right. We have a big job to do...


peace.

2. CNN DID run it - I personally saw it twice
good footage of inside the forum and generic Conyers footage. Footage of Cindy Sheehan and Joe Wilson.

3. WOW but they did not break for hearing, they did not
have this live on their site...

Point is, hte news media is now very quickly being replaced by us... and this is the kind of power we mere citizens have not had in US history since oh the good ol days of muckracking journalism... I think we are one step away from Muckrackers taking to the streets... and THEY KNOW IT

Study Upton Sinclair, you will see what I mean
