If the Cheney Tree Falls in Forest...and No One Hears It...Did it Fall?
If the TV Media/Cables doesn't become an echochamber for the Cheney Four Part Report in the WaPo...then WHO will report it? How many people will ever know about this report? McClatchy tried to excerpt the report and a little of it appeared in my Sunday paper (Good Cooperation WaPo/McClatchy) but MOST Americans get their news from TEE VEE and if they read a Newspaper it might not have links to McClatchy or WaPo for excerpts.

And...how many readers that we need read the Liberal Blogs for news? So, either AOL or YAHOO must do the headlines with links for folks to click.

Without a Murdoch type echochamber like the Right had to go after Clinton...then what can we use to bring pressure to get Cheney and Gonzo removed. More Petitions? Pressuring Congress? How can we better effect the change that's needed? :shrug:

1. Dick shot his alleged friend in the face, and nobody "heard" that.
If a drunken bastard almost killing his hunting companions doesn't make the news, then who's going to care about this "trivial little comment" about not being part of the executive branch - which is how they will spin it, if they bother at all.

2. What forest?
There is no forest. Why are you claiming there's forest? Why do you hate America?

6. Yes, it fell
But it wasn't televised due to lack of interest.

However, did you hear that Paris is getting out of jail at midnight? :bounce:

7. David Schuster filling in for Tucker did a GREAT JOB on reporting of this by confronting
that RW Repug Cheney Op...Ron Christie ...and getting him in contortions over whether Cheney is Senate or Executive. Sweat broke out on Christies brow as he did the Repug Bot TP's and he went into why Scooter doesn't deserve a pardon on top of "is Cheney above the law!"

It was good. I was glad I caught it.
