why does ...
everytime something happens to the Repugs, the first thing a reporter, commentator or Tweety does is go on a rant about,what is the Dems plan. If not that, they go back to discussing what Traficant or Clinton or did. The way I see it is, they got their punishment so reporters get off your ass and dig up the info like you did 24 hrs a day on Clinton. If they keep on trying to protect these criminals, we won't have a country to protect because everyday they are destroying it a little at a time.

1. Amen to that.
The mainstream media's reticence to report or even face the truth probably has to do with the fact that they are owned by the big corporations benefiting so richly from Bush and cronies' policies. Sadly, the country the reporters are destroying is their own. Some day they'll have to face their complicity in this whole fiasco. 'Twill probably be too late, though.

2. Because no one from our side talks to them
We know they are whores, so we ignore them, and because they are in the dark, it angers them.

May they trip on the lies of the Corrupt Conservatives looking for the truth.

3. It's a media conspiracy to protect this guy. Corporate America has a
firm stanglehold on the throat of the news media and nothing is too low for them to stoop to in order to protect their boy george. The anger in this country is starting to make them very nervous. And the same for these pain in the ass frauds who have made a very lucrative living pretending to be 'journalists'. They threw their lot in with the bush** administration and they are watching their credibility go down the drain drip by drip with every new revelation.

The mainstream media should have been more careful about the lies the told, the stories they wrote. They were too arrogant to realize that with the internet and the blogs came a new and powerful outlet for the truth and a convenient and easy way to get in contact with each other and the rest of the world. When you're looking at the possibilty of making yourself irrelevant and obsolete you should be a little careful and not get caught telling lie after lie, especially about things that cause harm and grief and suffering for so many.

4. Thats another one ...
of their tactics. If the reporter wants to bring up a Democrats point of view they have to clarify it by saying , this may be a conspiracy theory or in other words don't believe your lying eyes. Now everyone is slowly trying to admit that the problem with the weather maybe global warming. They will not give the credit to a Dem they all wait for someone they respect to say it or every other media outlet reports it. They are slowly doing it now and watch the main scardy cat start to reporting it like he's the first on who said it(Chris Matthews) the same way he is doing now with Delay,Rove,Scooter,Abrahoff,Limbaugh,Frist and many more to come hopefully the top dogs. Just like in the press briefings...
