Amazing.

I just went to 10 major news outlet websites (NYTimes, LATimes, Washington Post, CNN, USA Today, Boston Globe, Seattle PI, San Francisco Chronicle, etc.) and out of those, I found two that had a single reference “below the fold” on their main page, and out of those, they were very bland. You would overlook them.

To recognize the extent of the media double-standard, imagine some conservative “operatives” were taped saying the things these liberal scumbag bragged about, and that logs showed they had been to the Bush or Reagan White House hundreds of times for several hours and more, meeting directly with the President on many of them. Additionally, one of the people is a known felon with a significant record.

Just imagine what the media coverage would be like for that, with the video. It would be the main above-the-fold coverage, with extensive video and commentary, debates about how damaging this is to the Republican party and the Administration, on and on and on.

But, we have this.

I think this is one of the most significant political stories of our lifetimes, and look how it is being treated. If there is no traction on this, our country is indeed done for, cooked, and we better start planning appropriately.

I agree.

Without an unbiased press we just become another dictatorship masquerading as a democracy.

The rewriting of history is already underway and book burning cannot be far behind.

The press knew the story about John Edwards and his mistress MONTHS BEFORE THE National Enquirer broke the story. A common reaction to the Enquirer printing the pictures was frustration they couldn't sit on the story any longer.

It was the same with Monica's story - our 'news' organizations sat on it until Drudge broke stride. They all knew. Back in the old days they could be 'gatekeepers' without being seen as corrupt.

Those days are over.

The press wants their guys to stay in office... the people in their black books who feed them stories.

When the coin of the realm is ‘information’ bribes come in the form of ‘hot leads’.

Oh - and about eight years ago democrats discovered that putting MORE self serving stories in their packets to newspapers - - for editors to reject - - INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STORIES IN THE REST OF THE PACKET THAT NEWSPAPERS DID ACCEPT.

The greatest danger to our country is the media....And has been for 30-50 years....
