PBS, Tweety tiptoeing around Plame indictments

PBS has moved to the dark side. What an apologetic segment. They're all terrified to speak the truth, and at this point they should be naming names. If they don't know what's going on they should lose their license.

1. I thought the report on the Newshour

was pretty good. Nothing but the facts from the LA Times, probably the best paper in the country.

2. People are being cautious

for a good reason. The shit is about to hit the fan. Right now, in regard to the corporate media, think of Malcolm X's rule: those who know, don't say; and those who say, don't know.

Matthews knows, as do a few others.

6. Most are reporting

the facts, including that Rove is going to testify again. Note the "confusion" about if Roce volunteered, or if Fitzgerald called him. Rove's attorneys have, of course, spoken on and off the record. They are aware of the tight spot Karl is in.

But notice there are no real predictions about outcome. Interesting, they have experts that speculate on everything else!

3. I don't know about Tweety, but you are making it up about PBS News Hour.

PBS played it pretty straight. And they covered a lot of ground.

7. I just thought it was a bit unbalanced tonight.

And it seems to be a trend. They whitewashed the seriousness of Rove's situation imho.

Olberman is doing a better job.
