It's common knowledge that Rove has done everything he can do to bully the media into cow-towting to the WH. Of course, the MSM are really to blame for not standing up to such threats. That being said, if the cretin is forced from his pedestal, do you think the MSM will become more emboldened to give us real news about what's going on in this country at the hands of this administration? Am I deluded to even hope that will be the case?

4. No. Once a Coward....
The time for that has come and gone, and maybe it will come again, but only during impeachment trials. We need a new generation of media honchos, those who have something other than profits and market share on their minds. Like maybe Quality of Product?

Sometimes I crack myself up.

7. I like Bill Maher's comment last night. "I file that under
'dream on.'" Or something close to that.

5. As long as corporate controls the zeros on their paycheck, they
will follow the corporate rules. I can hear them now, pooooor Karl. He's being persecuted. :sarcasm:

8. You won't even SEE this story.
Edited on Sat May-13-06 07:20 PM by Bush_Eats_Beef
There will be a Natalee Holloway "BREAKTHROUGH"...Joran van der Sloot will hold a press conference and say that he KNEW he was doing something WRONG but COULD...NOT...RESIST her All-American vagina, so he's sorry, but he didn't do anything, except maybe rape and kill her, it was the other two guys, and by the way, KARL FUCKING ROVE WAS INDICTED.

Watch "The Abrams Report" on MSNBC. He'll be talking about Natalee, Scott Petersen, Michael Jackson...because he's not a REPORTER, he's a MEDIA WHORE, and he has a LIMITED ATTENTION SPAN.

12. Well, I've read of him that he remembers people's spouses names

and those of their kids, and other details. What would stop Mr. "fair game," in the first place? After all, J. Edgar Hoover did it, with great success.

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

13. It will be interesting to see how the media reports on kkkarl's indictment
After the Libby indictment they did seem to come alive in the WH press corps, and networks seemed to allow for some critisism of the administration. I attributed it to the press/media having a lessened sense of fear from an embattled WH.

Since then the fear seems to have creeped back into the press/media, so it will be telling to see how they report on the indictment of bush*s brain.

14. Snow telling
Tony Snow is going to have his baptism by fire in front of all the cameras. Unlike Snotty, he'll take on the reporters' questions and his performance will set the tone for what follows. With Rove out on the sidelines awaiting trial will lose coverage pretty fast.

Of course Fitz's report might shift the blame immediately. Can you say "President A" and "Vice President A"....
