Yup the cable/television media will get around to covering the huge gov't Propaganda machine (of which they gleefully act as a megaphone for) as soon as they cover the fact that our current leaders are also War Criminals due to the greenlighting of torture. And apparently Addington, Rummy, Gonzales went to gitmo to get firsthand knowledge/viewing of the techniques. Meanwhile the media ....crickets...they're freakin War criminals yet the silence is deafening. I understand Scott Horton hinted at the possibility that the legal justification for torture came after the torture policy began too...can you imagine if that'd been a Democratic president....
Nope...can't demand any accountability in this country by the people who have enacted Mr. 28% policies. Nope need to cover more important stories like how to be a true maverick, cackles and cleavage, and non flag pin wearing politicians instead. Damn why oh why can't we have a better media.

simple answer- who owns the media? they do serve their masters well...
Posted by Turkana at April 22, 2008 11:42 AMI saw the NYT article and wondered why it hadn't gotten wider coverage. I guess the TV media don't want to report on their own incompetence and/or collusion.
