Yeah - best not to watch that stuff.

I can hear it now:

While George Bush was making a political speech to relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq, Mr X Y Z was indicted for selling military secrets to the Chinese during the 90's. Senate leaders are calling for an investigation into what Bush knew ... since it "happened on his watch."

They would too. Why do they always want an investigation for everything? It's so stupid.

I live in a Protectionist State -- Washington -- where it is now clear that the three main alphabet news stations locally will do anything to protect the dems.

If it were not for the Internet and especially FR, I would be wandering in a daze.

The problem is that I am old enough to have been able to go to the network news affiliates and have gotten the actual news, not the excerpted-to-cover-the-dems'-patooties "news" and I revert to my former patterns (of seeking news) when a disaster hits.

I'm glad I got the news on FR first about Spain and the "alleged" spy.

The deal is, she was employed by two Seattle-area newspapers and I could actually feel a sense of fear in the newsreaders (long-time poseurs shilling for the DNC) as they lightly tread into the waters on this story. I could tell they want more, much more, info on who did what to whom (and want to test what public outcry might arise) before they will dare report the whole story.

It is plain and filthy disgusting.

Some day maybe I will learn to drop my expectations of being told the true stories. But I hope not. I hope rather that THEY get a spine and a conscience and whatever else it takes to report the news, unfiltered by their blackened hearts.

If this sounds harsh / extreme, take it as a clue of how fed up I am with the poliitics of this blue, blue state.
