MSM has nothing on Rove
Are we sure he's being indicted? Or is it blog?

1. MSM is fake news,
Truthout is real.

2. Agreed. But unfortunately...
if it ain't on CNN or NBC or CBS...it didn't happen.

12. Even things that were on CNN or NBC or CBS, etc "didn't happen" when
they later carry reports to the contrary.

Like Bush/Cheney linking Iraq to Al Qaeda and 9/11, Rummy saying he knew where the WMD's were, Condi saying the Niger yellowcake story/info was "mistaken" etc.. None of these evidently "happened" or at least the news outlets didn't "remember" and point out that they did indeed happen when they later carry reports and assertions to the contrary.

Hence CNN, according to Ray McGovern, recently was "surprised" when they "investigated" and "discovered" that what McGovern had stated about Rummy's previous public claims, claims Rummy made which had been carried on CNN and other major "news" networks, were actually true.

:crazy:

3. LOL, the MSM has nothing on most of the criminal acts of the bush
cabal until they are forced, on the rare occasion, to report one or two. I wouldn't look to them for confirmation of ANYTHING.

4. Wrong. They've been pretty harsh
on Fuckwit-in-Chief lately. Dismal approval ratings, Katrina ineptitude, Iraq, Wiretapping, etc. If there was a story - and Rove being indicted would BE a story - I think they would report it.

8. Not Hardly Hard Enough...
He deserves the very best (as in most hurtful possible) treatment.

11. I disagree, they have had to report some of the dismal aspects
of the bush cabal while, at the same time, working very hard to diminish the actual facts surrounding the criminal activity. No one has said Rove has been indicted yet only that it is imminent and the MSM would NOT report that one can be sure.

5. With no one willing to commit to a quote
Edited on Fri May-12-06 09:44 PM by spindrifter
yet, I think they are holding back and letting the story do its pre-development on the internet. They will have loads to print soon:
All the speculation about the case
the above about Libby's case
The fall-out for
every individual in the administration
policies or lack thereof
International impact
Personal stories about KKKarl
Stories about the greatest hero since Lincoln (P. Fitzg)
How all of this impacts the price of
stocks--especially the private prisons and corrections-related industries
gas
food
every individual columnist's take
The quotes from Pickles
Scenes from in front of Kkkarl's garage
KKKarl at the local kindergarten
etc. for the following 10 days, then we go back on the social security/immigration loop.
If we are lucky there will be breaks for news from Mr. Tice's testimony.

7. I think once Fitz officially files his paperwork for all to see,
feathers will fly!
