The media who covered up for Rove since 2003 should be indicted, too.
Edited on Fri Apr-21-06 12:14 PM by blm
Many of the inside DC press corps knew Rove was part of outing Plame and attacking Wilson since mid2003, yet they stayed silent about his guilt and allowed the WH to benefit from their denials and continue to allow the trashing of Wilson and his credibility.

They heralded Rove's genius and Bush's integrity throughout the entire election cycle and beyond. Wilson and Kerry were trashed as liars and exaggerators.

When Rove does get indicted, let's not forget the UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATORS....the DC press corps, and ESPECIALLY, the broadcast media whores who abetted him every step of the way - Russert, Matthews, Mitchell,Blitzer, Zahn, et al.

6. Have you heard ONE of them express regret for not telling the truth back
then? It seems they have no personal integrity left in them.

that he is married to Mandy Grumwald who is a longtime Clinton team member. I can NOT believe for a second that she didn't know the truth and didn't share it with them.

9. They're all in it together
That's why no one will say or do anything.

The M$M is taking the fifth amendment.

10. The MSM is responsible for all the Hell they've put this country through.
Starting with the "Hounding of the President" (Bill Clinton) and the complicity in Election Fraud 2000, 2002, 2006.

The first act of a New President would be to Restore the Fairness Doctrine and slap the Media Conglomerate with Anti-Trust Laws. Bush got away with everything and has given a President unlimited powers. Let's see a Dem President use their power to undo what's been done to our Freedoms before "we the people" then take away that awesome power so that NO President will ever again be able to be a KING!

The Media must be held accountable. I blame them the most...the Think Tanks second most.

Thanks for the post blm. :hi: We agree on a few things...:D

13. They're a team - Corpmedia is Bush's frontline of defense AND offense.
Where would he be without their complicity? JAIL.

15. But...what do we do about this? With so much Media Consolidation.
Edited on Fri Apr-21-06 06:31 PM by KoKo01
Knight-Ridder just bought out and there's another one on the chopping block lately.

My own hope is that the "Internet Liberal Dem Media" will get "their turn" and can replace the sychophantic whores that are out there today. But, I've always been too optimistic for my own good.

I'd love to see Josh Marshall's "Muckraker" Site go MAINSTREAM and bring along Conason, Lyons, Alterman, Waas and the rest of the team that was there with us since Clinton...but...I'm ONLY DREAMIN'. :-(
