Question - is the media seeing this as payback time finally for 5 years
of stonewalling, arrogance, threats of losing stories and access? I am not by any means letting them off of the hook for the horrible way that they enabled the misadministration for pulling off its many crimes...

But can you catch some sort of collective gasp and then aggressiveness at new found courage to ask the relevant questions? I watched Scotty's news conference, and it reminded me of when Roy Scheider was throwing the chum into the water to attract Jaws...

I just hope that they ignore the impending Rovination efforts, and persevere.

2. I hope so. Someone needs to recover their stones.
The MSM may finally be awaking to what bush has wrought.

4. Something really awful happened last week in NO. Thousands were
left on their own to cope with disaster. Bush's sociopathic response: "they were told to evacuate".

Some people ended up in the Dome who got in their cars and did try to evacuate but had to turn back at Slid ell. Some were sick & had no access to cars. Some were kids and didn't get to decide (fortunately it seemed, most mothers with kids went to the Dome and didn't leave their kids in homes), and then were at times virtually abandoned by the system over a week in that heap.

Some had family that wouldn't leave - not having any way of replacing the things they had, or having built a life around their pets.

"they were told to evacuate - it is all their fault" - the excuse only the most shallow people in existence would find deep enough reason to let those most vulnerable (old & kids) simply rot or drown or be terrorized.

5. I don't think so. GE has too much at stake.

They are giving slack to the chain. It will be tighened when needed.

Disney would be tied with CBS/Viacom as the first conglomerates to bust loose if they did. GE/NBC has too much at stake in their other "divisions".

FOX...we will see Pig Boy cop a plea on a live feed, with a bowl of his drugs of choice before they break away.
