1. Did it...last night even. Protecting the population from lies and

propaganda is an essential aspect of keeping a valid representative democracy...I am not kidding when I say that the fate of the Republic rests upon the credibility of a free press.

2. the story is going no where except on the blogs

face it, the fourth estate is government controlled

3. No. The Seattle Post Intelligencer isn't a blog

neither is the Philadelphia Daily News. They are just two examples of major dailies that are picking up the story.

This story affects real journalists personally.

But the main point of the thread is to support Rep. Slaughter. Do you have a problem with that?

4. "This story affects real journalists personally."

Hopefully they will realize that the WH is making a mockery of them and their profession.

6. lets see if it has any legs, I personally hope so, but doubt it

5. Ben Franklin and other early, Liberty-minded writers

Would have had no use for the current media but would see bloggers as his cup of tea.
