By not reporting this story the MSM become increasingly irrelevant.
Or so we hope. Much of the American citizenry is so woefully uninformed/misinformed, that they'll buy whatever the MSM is doling out.
And, that's when they even bother to pay attention.
The news blockade won't work on us, but they don't care about center-right America any more. They lost us years ago, and they know it. The pablum they dish out now is crafted solely for the sheeples, who gobble it down with gusto.
