FYI:
At around 10:30 Foxnews started to show a press briefing by Senator Frist and others. I heard Senator Frist say that each (about 6) of them would make a brief statement and then they would be available for questions. One Senator (Sessions? McConnell?) started talking and Fox cut away! No other channel was covering the briefing either.

What is going on? People on this forum like to say that Senator Frist isn't doing anything, but it seems to me that there is a whole lot of selective non-reporting going on.

If this is an example of using the 30 hour marathon to get the message out, I have a sick feeling that the message is STILL not going to reach 'the masses.'

Coming close to year end recess I hope this a setup for the President to make recess appointments and force the 'rats to make it a campaing issue or shutup.

You are right. There are people and senators doing an unbelievable amount of work. The mainstream media is simply not covering it.

This is why on this thread, I am urging people to write letters to the editors of their local newspapers and call in to local talk radio, so that we can try to get this out in front. Also people should contact their republican senators and support them for fighting back, and their democrat senators and tell them to stop the obstruction.

I am hoping that once the marathon starts, there will be some media coverage. I know there will be many press conferences today and tomorrow, I am hopeful this will get some exposure.
