The sad state of MSM

In less than two hours a decision will be handed down that will greatly impact a segment of our population (LGBT Marriage Equality).

Which ever way the decision goes by The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (Proposition 8), it's going to have a ripple effect for years to come.

Not a peep from MSM. I am just utterly disgusted with the non coverage of this and thank the stars for other smaller news outlets.

Sorry I just had to get that off my chest.

this morning. I didn't hear anything on the morning news, though. The weird thing is that there's not a lot of discussion about it here on DU, either.

I have a tab open to the court's page, and will start checking it often at 10 AM PST. I've been checking every 15 minutes this morning, since they occasionally issue an opinion before 10 AM.

I'm not going to be the first poster, though. I'll leave that for someone who is directly affected to do. Fingers crossed.
