Well folks, seems that 60 Minutes is postponing (read "killing") its Siegelman story. The excuse I am told for this lapse in ethics is that the network needs more time to vet the whistle-blower, Dana Jill Simpson. You see, the reason the network suddenly needs more time to vet Simpson is that the White House has launched a direct campaign inside CBS to discredit her and just to make sure the dirt sticks, they have called in some favors too.  I am told that Senator Jeff Sessions has been instructed to help the White House discredit Simpson as part of his "Senatorial" duties. Nice system of government we have here, eh?

So, two things are going to happen now. The first is, we will be including what 60 Minutes did not report as part of the Raw Story series on the case. Instead of 5 installments, we will now have 6. Second, all of you as citizens of this nation must voice your concerns about this situation to CBS. You want a free press? Then fight for it!

ADDRESS:
60 Minutes
524 West 57th St.
New York, NY 10019

EMAIL: 60m@cbsnews.com
PHONE: (212) 975-3247

I would tell you to call Congress, but as we all now know, they will not do a damn thing. But if you feel this would help, then by all means do contact Congress, the FCC, and every advertiser giving money to CBS. If money talks, scream with your wallet. You may also wish to  contact Senator Jeff Sessions and ask him who John Price is, you know, just for shits and giggles;)

this stuff makes me crazy!

i just emailed CBS to protest.  i got to let off a little steam.  if everyone would take a minute, at least we could ruin their evening.

this is such a scary story.  if a former governor can be dropped into a black hole, what does that say about the rest of us suckers? i shudder to think.

The black hole

The MSM dumps everything they want down the black hole.  

Iraqi casualty figures, violence, the day to day destruction we cause - down the black hole.

Open discussion about the issues - Single Payer Health Care, Progressive Candidates, the growing poverty rate and shrinking standards of living - down the black hole.

Not surprising at all.  

Go ahead and write, better to really hit them where it hurts - unplug.

John Sanchez Jr.Midwesterner, veteran of VietNam era naval service, I still feel an obligation to defend the Constitution against "all enemies, foreign and domestic."

I sent them my e-mail...

along with my reaction, which is "So what?"

I pointed out how they had long since wrenched themselves into the Little Georgie Bush Greater Propaganda and Bullshit Machine, and that I couldn't imagine them running a story that anyone would regard to be credible.

Then I mentioned that one day Georgie would be gone, and so would they. That's when their contribution to mankind will be measured, and I said that I'm afraid that their demise would be the only thing on the list.

Then I wished them Godspeed on their journey to oblivion.

I'm just worried that I wasn't nearly insolent enough.
