Martha, Martha all around and it's driving me to drink!
I am sick of the news that is not news that means anything to the big hot issues of life and death. The new Abu Gharib story by Herch is getting little play but can you imagine if this stuff were happening under a Clinton Presidency the RW would be claiming that the low morals of the left were the cause of the sexual abuses at the prisons. The mainstream media is virtually silent on this latest expose.

1. I am going nowhere near the Television...
Enough is enough. I think Martha was treated unfairly by the justice system, but I can't stand all the coverage that it is getting...

2. But he promised HE IS WRITING ANOTHER ARTICLE. We will
have to wait. The "media" won't do anything until they have their faces rubbed in it.

BUT I AM GOING BANANAS TOO.

3. I rarely have the TV on during the day...
I made the mistake today and CNN on...

It was nonstop Martha. Shameful.

Well, I'll go walk the dog in a few minutes (she's an apolitical little bitch), then hang out until the baseball games comes on.

I've seen enough Martha for the day.

4. Don't expect the "mainstream" media to do
the Abu Ghraib rape story. It ain't gonna happen. They won't touch that with a ten foot pole. After Sy does the story then they will have no choice but to cover it. Just like the pictures that CBS released...I bet ALL of the networks knew about them...none had the balls to run them before CBS did.

5. I agree. It's ridiculous
Also, 80 kids burned to death in India and it got about 15 seconds of time on NBC Nightly News, between Martha and California wildfires.

7. How low can the media whores sink?
You would think they would want to cover news events, not Repug inspired vendettas against Martha? How much attention did Bush's sale of Harken stocks and the subsequent white wash by the SEC ever get? Enough, I can't take any more tonight. Time to walk my apolitical doggies.
