How it all Went to Hell

A Brief Media Critique

From: Coyote Blog

"It is amazing that a scandal that has appeared on something like 14 million web pages (per Google, though ymmv as I see people getting all kinds of numbers) in a matter of just 2 weeks has yet to appear on the US mainstream network news.  I mean, these were the guys who spent breathless hours of live coverage reporting every breaking rumor about changes to Michael Jackson’s coffin.
No real point.  Not calling for government intervention, obviously.  Just amazing how irrelevant the networks have become.  If it weren’t for Time and Newsweek, and I would say they were the least relevant major news outlets in the country.
Some major, must-report outcome is going to come out of this Internet hype, and at that point the networks will find themselves in a position they have already been in several times this year — trying to explain significant actions resulting from a long-standing scandal or controversy they never reported."

Can it be that the MM is invested in the warmista religious position?

Nah.
