Our treasonous media
It is purely startling how little exposure the Scotty McClelland story has gotten in the M$M.
Here in Pa., it was only on the front of ONE newspaper, The Scranton Times, despite having moved over the ap wire at 5 p.m. yesterday. The Harrisburg Patriot-News DID NOT EVEN CARRY the story. I called and complained and got a befuddled desk editor who acted surprised.

Call your "media." Sometimes, we think our M$M are just jaundiced. Truth is, they are incredibly stupid. Plenty to "cook that turkey" and "holiday travel" stories, tho.

If you don't see this story, call and complain.

1. kick for this!
you're very right -- journos have their heads up their ass, especially when there's fluffy turkey stories to tell. i'm listening to NPR -- not a word about McClenllan on ON Point, or Day to Day. jeez.

2. Our small town in Minnesota
Always has our local news on the front page. But they have a big big spread on the second page where they have national news. They always post stuff like this. I guess the republicans don't think the paper is worth buying.
