Spot on piece about how the media picks and chooses which scandals get coverage.

"We aren’t even two weeks into CainFest 2011 and the broadcast networks have done 117 stories on him. One-hundred and seventeen? That’s more than a small war would get... Actually, it’s 58 times more than a small war has gotten. Obama ordered troops into Uganda in October, before the Cain allegations came out. CBS and NBC have each mentioned it once since then. ABC hasn’t mentioned it at all...But the networks don’t care about American soldiers at risk. They are more concerned that Obama’s presidency is at risk."

Excellent and sad. The MSM is a disgrace, in the tank and knee-padded.

It is a very inconvenient truth and as such will be surpressed.

A quick Google check without looking hard revealed at least 6 times.

Check before you say they haven't as you did not above.

How many of these 117 stories involve responses of Herman Cain or of other Republicans or conservative groups? Cain has blamed it on Rick Perry and then later he blamed it on the Democrats, that's two right there. Then there's the press conference he had with his lawyer and the stories about how the scandel has actually increased his fundraising. Also there are four women, so far, and each one of them would be a separate story since they all came out at different times

Nothing but "chirps" from the direction of the poster who protested that even FOX hasn't reported on the U.S. troops in Uganda. When will they learn to stop making themselves look so silly? I mean if you have nothing to say; just say nothing!
