Funny, it was first reported about three or four days ago on FR, with subsequent posting on FR, then Saturday it appeared in a small conservative local Tucson paper but not as a headline story, this morning FNC is talking all about it, but when I surfed the other news channels up until about 11:30 am MST, none of them even knew the stuff had been found.

Funny?

I Wonder it's that way?

When it was discovered Sadaam's sons gave a nuclear scientist centrifuges and told him to bury them under a rose bush so Iraq could reconstitute a nuclear weapons program once the UN got off their backs - that was enough for me. The Bush Admin needs to use information more aggressively. The intent to hide rather than destroy this stuff was clear.

Liberal news reporters don't trust any other sources except other liberal news reporters.

Said another way, Michael Moore wouldn't print it unless Barbara Streisand independently confirmed it even though Newt Gingrich is a first hand witness.

Funny, it was first reported about three or four days ago on FR, with subsequent posting on FR . . .

LOL. We're way ahead of the curve, huh? I'll tell ya what's cool is . . . watch Brit Hume's show and decide for yourself if he has someone keeping an eye on us FReepers. Fox News at 5:00 PM CST.

I've run three "unofficial" tests over the past two months. I got on the net at 4:00, hurriedly did a quick survey of the threads to see what the hot story of the day was, then watched Brit's show and EVERTIME the story was not only mentioned . . . but Brit also framed the story so it was obvious he agreed with the most popular FReeper take on the topic.

Then, as painful as it was, I'd scan the NBCCBSABC broadcasts at 5:30 . . . and the TOPIC WAS NEVER DISCUSSED!

I'd be willing to bet that every news organization with a viewership larger than four has "hired lurkers" to keep an eye on what's making news over here. It's really humorous. The alphabets networks would swallow cyanide before they reported on any stories favorable to conservatives. And it bugs the hell outta them that we're the trend-setters. Imagine that. Us? US!!!! Us little band of vagabond conservatives! Unbelievable.
