Wolf just said Cindy Sheehan's story "burning up the Internet"...

[DeepModem Mom]

and he'll be reporting on it. Am I being optimistic, or is "real" news making it quicker, and more often, to the "MSM"?

On edit: Wolf just told Cindy's story, briefly (it's reported downthread that he interviewed her yesterday). Then he went to his Internet correspondents. The first filled in the story a bit more, and reported that Cindy is now posting her personal story on a major "liberal" site Daily Kos (she didn't use the word "liberal" judgmentally), and is also affiliated with MoveOn.org. The other correspondent reported very briefly that someone on a military site on the Right (I didn't get the name of it, sorry) had responded to each of Cindy's questions for Bush.

1. the US MSM should still be prosecuted like Goebbels et al

9. Like Joseph Goebbels? You're confused.

He and his wife committed suicide after they killed all of their children with cyanide. He was never prosecuted for his crimes in the Nazi Third Reich.

10. Hans Fritzsche was tried in his place; also c.f. Alfred Rosenberg

Rosenberg being a racial theory ideologist.

3. slow news day/week/month

Bush is in Crawford, reporters stuck down there with nothing better to do than notice Cindy. American people upset about the war. Bush ratings down. The planets have lined up for this particular news story, but I'm afraid I don't think much else has changed as far as the media goes.

4. Keep pumping off emails to MSM (please) n/t

[babylonsister]

5. I don't know if it's because they have nothing else to talk about,

or whether they feel this is a story that needs to be told. So call me a cynic! There's been so much disappointment with the MSM, I'm not very trusting.

6. Expect lots of breathless and snide remarks

and plenty of discounting all but the party line.

7. Cindy has really struck a nerve with non-internet MSM viewers too

My husband just came home and talked about how his group of pals (older guys not on internet) were all talking about Cindy Sheehan this morning. He said that even the Repubs among his group of guy friends were pissed at Bush's Iraq lies and going on vacation right after all of the casualties last week and agreed that they would want to be down there beating up on Bush too if they had lost a son in Iraq.
