The fact was, and is, the MSM, both print and TV, to include FOX,PBS,NPR, A-N-CBS's, MSN and all the others fell flat on their asses. That also includes the Conservative Blogs! The leftist blogs did a pretty good job of following it through Twitter and Facebook before the Iranian Gov. pulled the plug..

It is a huge story; a Middle East country going through nothing less significant than the Czech Velvet Revolution, the U.S.Civil War, French Revolution and Vietnam's Tet all rolled in a bundle - and the MSM chose to ignore it!!!

I wonder how many days it will take the MSM to get the story out - or maybe they don't want to since it embarrasses Obama and his outreach to a fraudulent regime.

I bet you won't hear the MSM tell you that half the anti-riot police in the streets of Tehran were speaking Arabic (Iranians speak Farsi) and are believed to be Hezbollah thugs imported from Lebanon.

Twitter, via some guy in downtown Tehran, told me. I'm 73.... and I'm joining Twitter. It works!!!

But...but...but it was the weekend! Breaking news never happens on the weekend, especially in summer when the prime pundits are out of town.

In all seriousness, I don't know why CNN just didn't change its feed to CNN International (which it did the night Princess Diana died) or why C-SPAN didn't provide a long stretch of BBC coverage, as it occasionally does with breaking news if Congress isn't in session.

THAT would not surprise me at all.
