Media pays attention to DSM on a Friday...
Edited on Fri Jun-17-05 10:28 PM by kerryin2004
It seems ironically similar to a document dump from the White House..




Fascist-A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

2. Good point, but I guess it's a start.
At least they paid attention at all. Let's see what happens Monday.

5. I think, given 5 years of WH dirty tricks and Friday "docu-dumps"
the question was realistic. Randi Rhodes et al started talking about Conyer's hearing intentions early on in the week. The MSM could have started doing all kinds of background preparation and been ready for the hearing on Thursday for reporting that evening but they didn't. Conyer's on his web site gave up to date changes as to the where and when of the hearing so again, the media could have done their filming or print reporting immediately following and filed their reports Thursday but they didn't. So, commenting on the irony of it all is totally realistic IMO.

4. But this is not going away.....
right now, it at a simmer.....but the bubbles are slowly forming.

We just need to keep it at a slow boil for the time being....

And then maybe, just maybe, the shit will catch on fire! :nuke:

Either that...or like everything else, it will boil over. :-(
