Notice Something Missing?
Isn't it interesting that in all the New Hampshire primary frenzy, we're not hearing a damn thing about John Edwards even though he came in second in Iowa, and he even looks like a president? Glenn Greenwald tells us why.
Actually, Edwards was invisible from the media narrative for almost the entire year, well before Iowa, but nonetheless, he came in second place, is a legitimate candidate by every metric, and it isn't the media's place to "decide" -- after one state -- that he's no longer worth mentioning because he won't win. Obviously, by freezing him out of coverage, the media dictates the outcome rather than reports on it.
And we know who owns the media.
Ron Paul seems to be in a similar pickle.
And now for the most shocking media blackout of them all -- former FBI employee Sibel Edmond's explosive revelations Sunday about the selling of US nuclear secrets by those who pretend to be patriots to those who could swing either way in their affections for the USofA.. Her story made the front page of the UK Sunday Times, but has been assiduously ignored by the American press. Here's all the information you need to know-- from such sources as the Times of India. Be sure to click the clickies. More movies and even jucier details which involve The Dick and drugs.
Aren't you glad somebody's watching?
Photo note: This is a shot of Buda's Castle Hill and the Chain Bridge over teh Danube at night, taken from Pest the other half of Budapest, which is not shown. Bet you didn't miss it either. In addition, all the adorable little white lights have lost their clarity in the conversion of this photo for the blog. You never really know what you're not seeing unless someone tells you. My point exactly.
