CNN gave about 20sec. to British memo as a fockin' BLOG ENTRY REPORT.

That was it!

It was never discussed as a news item on Inside Politics.

It was barely a 20second reading of a couple sentences from Conyer's blog. And you could barely even make out what the reader was saying with her heavy accent.

They KNOW they are covering up. They are putting out the tiniest bits as internet type news, just to be able to point to it one day and claim they covered it.

We cannot be lax about hounding CNN. That little bit they throw at us is meant to be catnip to distract the internet crowd into thinking the memo issue is getting heard.

They have not given their actual viewers any discussion of the memo as a news item.

republican owned corporate media doesn't air or give any information about a story, so that very few know about it...They then simply say, well, there was no interest in the story so we didn't spend any time covering it.

That's the same convoluted logic that spells cover-up to me.

2. Did you see their original story? Language/Spin was appalling
"London Tabloid Report" "Democrat's letter alleges"

Yes they are covering it up.
