What stories is the MSM currently covering up for Bush?
Every week, some horrendous example of how incompetent the Bushies are comes to light. But then, after giving such stories only minimal (if any) attention, the Main Stream Media quietly and deliberately lets such stories die a Schiavo death -- i.e., they remove the feeding tube.

This has happened dozens of time. I'm going to list just two -- both very recent -- to show what I mean. Other people can add their own examples. The list is as endless as Bush is compassionless.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO MEDIA COVERAGE OF...

THE ITALIAN JOURNALIST WHOSE CAR WAS ATTACKED?

SCOTT RITTER AND HIS ASSERTIONS THAT IRAQ HAD NO WMD?


As to number one, thus far, Bush's mouthpieces have told us that they 'don't know where the car in question is.'

As to number two, the White House just sponsored a study that exonerated Cheney and Co. from over-exaggerating Iraq's WMD threat. It is now all being blamed on those incompetent intelligence folks who were ALL completely wrong (and need to be replaced with a loyal oberstfuher for information.)

Except they all WERE NOT completely wrong. Numerous people, including Ritter, loudly insisted that there were no WMD in Iraq. If he knew that, how come the CIA didn't? If he was right about that, why wasn't he listened to? And -- most important of all -- where in the hell is our supposedly 'free' press -- the people who are SUPPOSED to be asking these questions?

1. 2 things that I know of
1. the report that came out today relating to the WMD's; Dead Wrong
2. the Nuclear Option

btw-I saw Scott Ritter on C-Span about a year ago and man, was he powerful in his statements. Even the Red Cross knew there were no WMD's. I guess * thought a group of medical personel who had been there for years upon years, and a group formed by the UNITED NATIONS did not know what they were talking about. :sarcasm:

2. No telling WHAT other stories...
the American Pravda is NEVER going to tell the people what all is really going down in Washington...best bet is to get your news from PBS (while we still can), BBC, and the internet (CNN Europe is actually pretty good, the newscasts from London are even BETTER, if you get the chance to go over there).
