Poll question: Why was it easier for the GOP-controlled media to cover ...
... the "cone of silence" non-issue, but cannot seem to find the time to give equal coverage to Admiral McCombover's connection to the Georgian mess?

Choice 1: the "cone of silence" issue is more important

Choice 2: the Georgian issue is so last week

Choice 3: all that Washington-insider-wonk-talk is too hard for Americans to follow

Choice 4: the GOP-controlled media is covering the "cone of silence" so they don't have to cover the McCain-Lobbyist-Georgia scandal

Choice 5: it's just another way for the GOP-controlled media to keep talking about religion, when they really shouldn't be

Choice 6: they're covering both stories to my satisfaction

Choice 7: Other (please elaborate in reply)

1. All of the above?
Because the "cone of silence" story is a way for them to fuck over Democrats, while ignoring the Georgia situation is a way for them to do the same?

Do I have it right?

2. Because there are only five republican donating corporations that own & dictate what they

want us to know (or don't know).

Simple.

Republican corporations, i.e. The hateful, racist, homophobic, women hating, greedy, lying, union busting, deregulating, cheating, Christian using, imperialist, fascist republican party...these same corporations & the rich ARE the republican party!

Disney-ABC, General Electric-NBC, Murdoch-Fox, Viacom-CBS & Time-Warner-CNN -- ALL huge contributors to the republicans & the RNC.

It's not in their best interest to tell us anything near the truth.

Thanks for Liberal radio, Blogs, a couple of popular television shows, FSTV, progressive DVD's, Forums like DU, some progressive print publications and angry aware grassroots people.
