I don’t know for a fact, of course, but it seems logical to me that they stayed out of it in an effort to force the MSM to report it, thereby keeping it from being a “right-wing” issue. This is as much a battle between the new media and the old media as it is a battle between socialism and capitalism, and between red states and blue cities.
Sorry but I am not buying that one. When MSLSD posted what they did on their site it was more than enough reason for the heavy talk hitters to do their job.
