Media Whore's Don't Report on Fitz because of Fear of Indictments ? |
|
We all remember the Press Corps on "Monica Beach" reporting EVERYONE and ANYONE who appeared before the GJ in Clinton's Impeachment proceedings. We remember the Press Gaggle watching his car depart to and from his house to the Court Room and the "daily viewings" of who in the Clinton Aministration was appearing before them and the scandal and the nightly "whore" Pundit Media discussions of the latest "twist and turn."
Yet...for 2 YEARS! there's been nothing about the "comings and goings" for Fitz's Grand Jury appearances. Just some "minor notes" in the NYT's,WaPo, WA Times and the BLOG's about what Fitz has been up to...UNTIL MILLER IS RELEASED AND ROVE APPEARS FOR THE 4th TIME!
So...seems to me Russert, Tweety, Novak, Andrea Mitchell and others were "silenced" just because their "OWNERS" knew they could be involved in litigation about "Plame Leak."
Media Ownership is being "EXPOSED" because the WERE ALL COMPLICIT in PLAMEGATE...AND THE SILENCE WAS "BUTT COVERING!"

1. Sure. Who owns coporate media and who do they give their money to? |

2. Also because they think the sheeple don't care squat about |
|
anything but sex. Plamegate involves too much information - it's not about blowjobs. It's about real treason.
It might be interesting to see if Americans do care, btw, but I doubt we'll ever find that out.

3. I'm sure everyone has noticed |
|
that the corporate whores will not report on real repuke scandals, but will report on manufactured Dem ones, and gleefully too. I really think that it's that simple. Why would they report on Fitz? It reflects badly on *. They've protected and coddled him from day one, and they still are.

4. Here's the right wings version via TWS |
|
FOR TWO YEARS, THE political class in Washington has followed with intense interest the story of Joseph Wilson and the events that led to the compromising of his wife's identity and undercover status as a CIA operative. The rest of the country seems to have responded with a collective yawn. That will soon change if special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald issues indictments of senior White House aides in his investigation of the alleged leaking of Mrs. Wilson's name.http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/006/217wnmrb.asp?pg=1Very interesting take on the whole affair.

5. Interesting from "Weekly Standard." And, that the RW is suddenly looking. |
|
Now that they have been cut in half by Bush Mier's Appointment.
Still, it seems to me that the lack of MSM Reporting might be due to the fact that they were ALL....ALL!!! Complicit in the Iraq Invasion and that Miller leaked to all of them. And that Victor Plame, Valerie Flame, were all "code words" that were put out there by "WHO?"
The litigation against the BIG MEDIA WHORES: VIACOM, GE, and AOL/TIME WARNER could come home to roost and that's WHY they NEVER reported what was going on like MONICA GATE was reported on. They knew they were PART AND INVOLVED in the DEAL. :shrug:

The media's glaring complicity is stunning. I hope when the shakeout comes, this too will be exposed.

7. Yep, the media is complicit... |
|
some may find themselves doing a perp walk. Thus, the butt covering. On second thought, Fitz actually sending Judy to jail could have sent his own message. My wishful thinking...

both the cabal and their spineless, suck-up media enablers!
On edit: I'm nominating, just to tweak our cowardly press.

9. If Fitzgerald is as ethical and determined a man |

as it's been said he is, the media silence may actually work to his and the country's advantage by creating an environment where there hasn't been constant pressure (and temptation) for leaks, thereby lulling people into a false sense of security.
I suspect that the last thing Fitzgerald wanted while pulling this set of cases together was to be living in the kind of fishbowl circus that Kenneth Star and the rest of the complicit "mainstream" media created.
Whether any of them (Miller included) will face consequences other than approbation and widespread disgust is probably unlikely any time soon- but down the line, if things really turn down (as in- a sustained economic collapse)- I wouldn't want to be in their shoes, because there will be a lot of angry sheeple who were once fat & happy, left cold & hungry, with nothing to lose and looking for someone to blame.
And those well coiffed liars on their TV screens will be perfect (and recognizable) candidates.
