2. K/R

I think you'll be hearing more of this.

Credit the much maligned Katie Couric for breaking the ice the other day.

5. why? what happened--apparently i missed it. what did katie couric do?

Edited on Thu May-29-08 12:58 PM by orleans

never mind--i just found this:
"I think it's a very legitimate allegation. I think it's one of the most embarrassing chapters in American journalism. And I think there was a sense of pressure from corporations who own where we work and from the government itself to really squash any kinds of dissent or any kind of questioning of it. I think it was extremely subtle but very, very effective. And I think Scott McClellan has a really good point.

8. Congratulations also to Katie Couric --- who adds a bit more . . .

Corporations don't only "own where reporters work" ...
they own where we all work ---
and presumably where the Congress works ---

Time to bust up this corporate-control of our lives ---

"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" . . .
doesn't say anything about corporations ---
but the founders certainly feared the power of CAPITAL ---

3. Like Anderson Cooper did not know this. M$M/Press are running for cover today.

Punks. Watching them squirm and spin this is almost enjoyable. If it were not so pathetic. :wtf:

12. I love how squirmy Anderson Cooper looks

Like he's thinking Uh, oh...Jessica, you do not want to say that on national television!

Anderson Cooper probably got trained with a shock collar. He winces, thinking about the punishment both of them might get.

14. So now, years, uncounted numbers of dead, and a shattered economy latter...

Yellin wants to tell the truth.

She sounds like a typical media whore to me.
