2. I try to say this as often as possible to as many people as I can -
you are not informed if you rely on the MSM

3. The next step is
We need to flood MSM with emails concerning this story. We cannot let them sweep this one under.

The trouble with the net is you have to actively pursue information. Most people do want to simply rely on a flow of information dropping on their head for all practicle purposes. MSM is still the dominant means most people get their information. This info has to be forced into their stream so everyone can know.

8. That's right - has anyone covered it since the Boston Globe story?
There was the Globe, then Yahoo had a story the next day, then everyone switched to SOTU. They HAVE to cover it now. Will they?

4. It is quite sad to think that a member of MSM
could have gotten this info sitting at his/her desk during their lunch hour. I guess I'm naive but can we attribute it to laziness, ignorance, personal agendas or something else (fear of the white house).

5. What I find frustrating is the people who get their info from
stupid emails. You know the ones -- those that end with "we need to get this information to EVERYONE, people!!!!! Forward this to at least 10 people!!!"

Ugh, you wouldn't believe the over-the-top thoughtless knee-jerk "patriotic" ("patriotic" = support the war, support Our President") crap I get from clueless relatives.

Better the MSM than crappy emails.

Seriously - have you ever noticed what percentage of the crap emails you get have a right-wing slant -- Clintonbashing (still!), subtle or not-so-subtle racism, pro-war, etc.

6. Even if you DON'T put it on the net.
Want his SS number?

His cell phone number?

His credit card numbers, WITH the three digit verification codes?

The results of his last HIV test. (He thought it was anonymous!)
