Single What? Female...

And again I ask....

Where the f*** is the media? Yesterday, British MP George Galloway testified at the Senate about the Oil For Food program. He essentially called the Republicans out about Iraq and called the Senate subcommittee investigation "the mother of all smokscreens" to cover up all the US corruption in Iraq (gee ya think?). The Senate is not used to such plain talk; why debates here can't be more like Parliament I don't know...And while it made the nightly news last night, as well as Charlie Rose, I have not seen squat about his remarks this morning on the morning news shows. Stephanie Miller has him on her show, and I'm sure he will be brought up the rest of the day on Air America, but why the heck isn't he a story any place else?
As I have searched this morning, he did make it to CNN, the Washington Post, and Common Dreams, but it appears the rest of the press just thinks he's a crazy Scotsman* not worth mention. Crazy Scotsman or no, the man made valid arguments that need to have been said far more often by our own people. Personally, if I can find the Parliament website, I want to send a note and thank him for speaking out.
*this includes CNN and the Washington Post.

I figured at least Keith Olbermann would have something to say about this...and he does not...BUT he does have a great entry about the resignation of Scott "Puffy McMoonFace" McClellan and his claims that the Newsweek story is to blame for the "poor image" of America in the Middle East *cause you know, our occupation had nothing to do with that...* And as they don't want to try to repair this image themselves, the White House is actually nudging Newsweek to do it for them...
Olbermann also brought up something that hasn't been brought up much. The story about the Koran flushing was written by Michael Isikoff-one of the "liberal media's" gift to the Right.

And speaking of Conservatives looking to have "the liberal media" stop making us look bad, the Republican head of Corporation for Public Broadcasting, yes the guy who thought Bill Moyers was unbalanced, is now after NPR...(thank you Sonia for passing on the link)

IN THE MEANTIME...

It's that time...it's FIGHT FOR THE FILIBUSTER day!!! Harry Reid cut off talks yesterday with Bill Frist and the Republicans over this issue and has declared that if Frist gets his way and the judicial filibuster is stopped, he and the Democrats will "bog down" all Senate activity. *Sen. Harry Reid, meet MP George Galloway...*

And speaking of judges and all, may have to face a few as nations around the world are Bush and Blaircalling for them to be called before the World Tribunal for Iraq...

And is this anywhere in the mass media? I think not. So why not leave them a little note and KEEP E-MAILING!!!! E-mail, call, write, fax your friends and family and let them know that you are paying attention and want them to report what's really going on, not just what the White House wants us to hear. And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
