1. yes, i fired off a email to the Seattle Times editor about this very thing |
|
and he sent me back a response (which surprised me) saying the following:
"as you may know, the article about the McCain's taxes was an exclusive of Newsweek; we are looking for a version we can publish."
They are looking for a version they can publish? WTF? What does that mean?
If this had been a Dem, this would have hit the news cycle faster than a blink of an eye. The repubs would have sent out the faxes, which would have been picked up by Drudge and Fox, and the AP would have done story, and it would then hit the corp media. Probably in 1 or 2 newscycles.

2. e-mail back: "Reported in Newsweek" |
|
that's how the "Clinton trashed the White House offices" went around ...
Drudge "reported" it
Washington Times reported it, citing the source as Drudge ...
Washington Post reported it, citing the Washington Times as the source ...
Drudge reported it, citing the Washington Post as the source ...

4. ok, I found the parking ticket story on the times web site |
|
dated march 9th, any idea when this story broke, I am wondering how long it took the times to get it up on the site.
Still nothing on the McLames unpaid taxes.

"Sharpton's Baggage: Nearly $1.5M in Unpaid Taxes, Penalties" about Rev. Al. Search engine gave me nothing when I searched for McCain unpaid taxes. No story. Since I figured they may not know about it, being faux and all, I sent them a "news tip"

9. It's Not the Media's Fault... |
|
If the media is not covering something that you want them to cover, you talk about it and you make sure your surrogates do. It frustrates me that the Obama team does not realize this. McCain has flip flopped more than Obama has, yet the media portrays the reverse and Obama is silent. Obama is accused of being elitist when McCain has had the priviledges of elites his whole life but the Obama team is silent on this matter too.
