If a Congressman calls for censure, but no one in the MSM reports on it...

...did it really happen?

The Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee, led by John Conyers, have called for the censure of the President and Vice-President of the United States, and to open an investigation to determine if they committed impeachable offenses.

This news hit nearly three hours ago. I have yet to hear even a peep in the MSM. Anyone see/hear anything?

1. I had the same thought...

Perhaps we should all contact the media - and tell them to do their fucking jobs!

But one can always hope that eventually they'll wake up out of their slumber.

So long as Senselessbrenner remains the Comittee chairman

3. What does Sensenbrenner have to do with suppressing media response?

Maybe it's just me, but when a significant chunk of the House Judiciary Committee calls for the potential impeachment of a sitting President of the United States... I don't know, but it strikes me as a little bit newsworthy.

4. Welcome to the 2004 Kerry campaign. It's how media protects the Bushboy.

5. They can slow it down while the rats scramble.

They can't stop it from getting out.

8. This might not be on the Repig news channels, but

I have just spoken to Lugar and Bayh's offices and after saying what I had to say I asked each staffer if they had had many callers on the subject. Lugar's office was ho hum about the amount of calls, but Bayh's staffer said:"quite a few" with emphasis in her voice. This leads me to believe that Indiana might not be as red lately as I thought it was. DU has helped get those calls out and has done what the media will not do.
