Reality is taking its toll on the MSM. A reporter who was trying to give "good reports" about the status in Iraq was seriously injured (link here). And Ted Koppel just wrote a report saying the MSM is in "distress (link here).
The Koppel part may give some insider info as to why election fraud is not reported. They do not think it will help the bottom line profit picture.
The first white house official to be literally taken out in handcuffs was David Safavian (link here), which was before Libby was taken.
Before Abramoff was taken. The whole republican mantra is censorship and control. They even want to control what scientists say about the climate (link here).
Lets cure congress by voting out the infestation that has become the republican party. Lets send a clear message about accountability.
It is a short time till November when we can make it clear that we won’t stand for this.
