No, most likely I'm just ignorant of something that is already out there.
I'm looking for a weekly (or daily) summary of what is and is not covered by the MSM. The idea would be to produce a weekly review of what THEY talk about and what THEY refuse to talk about.
Is there such a source that I'm not aware of? (highly likely)
Even if it's only close, it's a starting point.
I have NEVER claimed to be the ultimate source of anything (except trivia - I'm the end all an be all of useless trivia).
But Brent Bozell's Media Research Center appears to be organized more on an "issues covered" basis. http://www.mrc.org/archive/nq/welcome.asp probably gives a handle on the "what's covered" aspect. Getting to "what's not covered" is inherently more difficult - it amounts to reading the inside pages and choosing what should have been covered more prominently.
There are a good number of sources to check -- WH news releases are updated multiple times daily; read the Congressional Digest each day; Check the Congressional Committee meeting schedules.
Some things just don't surface, e.g., Able Danger hearings of recent.
I'll root around and see if I can find a "News that never made the news" sort of summary. "News that isn't newsworthy" is easy (Cheney shooting; DPW deal; Katrina/NOLA revisited on the occasion of Mardi Gras).
http://www.medialink.com/ puts out VNRs (Video News Releases) on a "paid for" basis. SOme of this is in the nature of "covert propaganda."
Foreign news sources would probably be very good to scan.

I wonder what happened to the Alpizar story (guy shot by an air marhsall at Miami); the Erie, PA pizza guy who was killed by a bomb collar; the guy who blew up in Oklahoma, outside a college football game.
OTOH, the Hamdan case will be heard by SCOTUS later this month, Judith Miller has been appearing in the appeal that involves press priviledge and disclosure of impending search to Holy Land Foundation - those items WILL be hot news when they mature.
Here's one: http://www.honestreporting.com/a/Archives.asp
Does Media Research Center still do that?
