Which story will the corporate media choose to saturate their airwaves?
The corporate media created a storyline after 9/11 and helped build up the Bush Administration's case for war with Iraq. News of Pentagon pundits shows how corrupt and complicit the media was. The corporate media, in addition to war, has also delighted in only covering those presidential candidates they wish to be king next.
Some in the corporate media have recognized their failures but the overall system continues to operate in the same way as those who recognize their failures resign or censor themselves.
Three huge stories are happening right now: approval of more war funding coupled with significant domestic funding, immunity for telecoms, and Scott McClellan's testimony. Which one will rule the airwaves for the next news cycle?
