The MSM are relatively silent on the stories of the elections aftermath in Iran. Curious because so-called journalists have always found a way to "get the news" when it would embarrass President Bush. Journalists have no qualms about compromising national security even, if it means an embarrassing story (to conservatives) will "get out on the wire." Today, with Barry at the helm, there is a curious reluctance to go out and report on the news, by hook or by crook.
That lack of news coverage over events of interest to conservatives, which conservatives have lamented for my entire adult life may be signalling the end of the era of mainstream news outlet dominance.
I just tried a google news search for Iran elections. Of the dozens of hits from various news outlets, only one hit was from the MSM (ABC Online). One hit from the LA Times (before it dies) appears to be parroting some Iranian government hardline propaganda. The rest were news outlets totally unfamiliar to me, but apparently just as trustworthy in reporting a consistent view of facts and opinions. FUnny, isn't it?
The MSM don't show up and the news is still getting out. Thanks to alternative media, those who want to be informed CAN be informed. Only the intellectually lazy have any use for the MSM anymore. I say let them keep that audience - it is to our advantage that the intellectually lazy stay out of our way with their ideollogically subservient ignorance.
Our prayers are with the brave men and women who are paying the terrible price for freedom. The Army cannot protect you from Hamas and Hezbollah and the Iranian guard and Secret Police and so on combined, but they stand with you as do we, the CITIZENS of all peace-loving countries of the world, though we are powerless to intervene.
