What great stories have gone uncovered by MSM?
I'm going to be doing a once a month radio gig with another committed Dem on the local hate-talk radio station. They give us one hour per week, "Progressive Wednesday". I and my partner in this effort will get one of those slots per month.

We've decided to focus on stories the corporate media hasn't covered. Figured we'd share new info that Rush ain't telling them about while simultaneously chipping away at the "liberal media" myth.

I'm asking that DUers submit their choice of stories that have gone unmentioned by the media whores.

Thanks for any help you can give.
