NEWS…

Posted on Tuesday 10 June 2008


It is becoming too easy – as a mere citizen like me – to see right through the posers, pretenders, and fakers of America’s ersatz "news media." The most important thing going happened on Monday night. An event that matters greatly to the course of history and to all Americans. Did you hear about it? Did ABC, CBS, and NBC break into normal programming with special coverage? Are there special alerts and bulletins on the cable news networks, where people can see them? No, no, and no! (Unless you follow this issue. In that case, the answers may be yes, no, and no.)

Once upon a time, all national news came from those three networks, and from eight or ten other "big sources." (The top 7 being AP, UPI, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News.) It used to be possible to contain, or to stop news, simply by avoiding its mention at the aforementioned top 10 news outlets. As opposed to the old days, we are now in the new days. You or I can go to Google news and find the big news — which I alluded to above — is already in more than 2,100 articles at many news outlets around the Web. Yet, this news is happening very quietly at those "top 10" news outlets, which will be the last to speak of it loudly. Once again, they are in the mode of ducking news, rather than reporting it.

It’s at 2,100+ places around the web, and yet one poster with a comment at the Baltimore Sun wrote, "Why isn’t this on every major news network in the country?" Maybe because the corrupt minders of the top 10 news outlets simply have to reveal their corruption to the public one more time. It’s news made by a U.S. Congressman on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment for President George W. Bush. It’s going to be hard to bury this news, but the top 10 places are trying hard…
Kucinich’s started reading his Articles of Impeachment at 7:14 PM. He ended a little before midnight. I don’t know much about him other than he’s a Democrat from Cleveland, Ohio; that he’s articulate; that he’s against the War; that he ran for President; and that he’s short with a tall, young wife. But having listened to his Articles of Impeachment from the middle on, I have great respect for him. Most of the Articles mentioned topics familiar to bloggers, in fact, they are most of the our’ topics. He had his ducks in a row – yhe facts were at hand. While the Democratic leaders might quash his Articles based on some theory of who-knows-what, it was not a non-event. It was NEWS. The Today show is playing in the Living Room – not there. It’s not in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Kucinich made a strong case for Impeachment. Even if it’s ignored by Congress, it ought to be read widely. Where is the coverage!
