will MSM use Amish deaths to cover up the Foley fiasco?
recall when bad, no, terrible IraqNam news was coming out. The torture, the growing deaths, the lies and the lack of the WMD, and the MSM jumped on some missing aruba besotted babe 24/7.

Will MSM conveniently use this horrific affair to push FoleyGate off the pages and away from coverage?

1. As sad as it is, I don't think they'll get a lot more mileage out
of this. At some point they have to run out of things to say.

2. If it bleeds it leads.
And the corporations love the Republicans...so yes...it will cover up Foley's crimes...for now at least.

3. I dunno, here in the UK we got the CNN US feed
And they went straight from the shooting coverage to Fat Bastard's statement. So maybe they'll stick with this one

4. Yep - it was very convenient for both
MSNBC and CNN. How sad for these little girls - 10 - 12 female students shot - six dead, three critical.

5. No...
It's about ratings and profit for the MSM and the Foley scandal is too juicy for them to give up anytime soon.
