OK, I admit the past two months or so have not seen me plugged into my usual online networks but I have not been in a monestary. I've written lots of blogs, some I've posted, most I've buried, including one on June 20th where I wondered what the media was trying to hide by still talking about the whole Letterman v Palin farce.
Well, apparently the media was occupying themselves, and their audiences, with positing that Letterman meant Bristol and not the 14 year old who was with Sarah got "knocked up" instead of telling the American people that the trial of the greatest government employed bribe taker since Bill Clinton had commenced.
On June 16 the United States of America began opening arguments in their seemingly airtight case against William Jefferson. Seems William Jefferson was caught with $90K but had taken over 400 thousand dollars and was demanding millions more to represent African nations in the House. (Coincidentally William Jefferson Clinton -no relation- took over $400K from the Chinese government.)
Today the US Attorney presented closing arguments in the case against the man Nancy Pelosi faithfully supported after getting caught with the $90K in his freezer.
The media is frighteningly silent on this. The First Amendment was designed to protect the free press from the government with one purpose in mind, so the press can keep the people informed about the actions of the government. If the media is failing to keep up their end of the bargain one could successfully argue that they have waived any First Amendment protection.
The media is supposed to keep the citizenry informed, not collude with the government.
