This has zero to do with ‘media convergence’ or ‘digital technologies’, and everything to do with two very human factors: (1) editorial judgment and (2) reporting talent.

McClatchy seems to be the leaner operation, but they’re outpacing the NYT by a country mile.

If Congress doesn’t initiate legal proceedings against the nest of spies run out of OVP, and include GWBush — for turning a blind eye in order to maintain ‘plausible deniability’ — then all I can do is shrug and say, “Fuck it. I’m not voting. And I’m done contributing. I refuse to help enable a system so weakened and corrupt that it can’t even reign in thugs and spies. The very idea of supporting this mess, even by voting, is revolting.”

When a US Senate report makes clear that Congress, the FBI, the CIA, and the military have been subverted by a nest of spies and no one does anything about it — the criminals keep their nice, cushy lives…. there’s simply no point in paying attention, let alone voting. F*ck that bullshit.

That makes about as much sense as paying the Mafia to intimidate you. Thanks all the same, but I’ll have to take a pass…

McClatchy gives front page attention to the ‘cabal’ that operated out of OVP and the Pentagon.
Meanwhile, at the NYT no front page headline about the nest of spies. Go figure.

Niger Documents Timeline
including El baradei’s speech at the UN where he told the world (many of us were listening) that the NIger Documents were false

Holding those responsible for disseminating false intelligence ACCOUNTABLE is the very least, the very least that our Representatives can do for the the unnecessary and immoral loss of American and Iraqi lives, the destroyed country of Iraq and 4 million Iraqi refugees. Will our Congress do anything with this report or will the “fiber of our Democracy” as Senator Whitehouse has so eloquently stated “continue to rot”?

We are writing, e-mailing, calling, our Reps. We are doing our part. Will they do theirs? We are waiting for ACCOUNTABILITY, And the whole world is watching.

You don’t turn a blind eye to the hard, published evidence that the Preznit, VP, and their cabal set up a parallel government. And if you do turn a blind eye to that, and fail to remove those people… what does that tell the military?

Should people really be asked to do military service in support of a pack of lies?
And lies promoted actively by foreign agents?

I hope your comment turns out to be prescient.
