Just a quick bit of perspective about who is really shaping the discourse and while Mary Sanchez is still picking out what business suit she'll be wearing today.
NOTICE THAT INTERNETS JUGGERNAUTS ARE SHAPING STORIES FROM MISSOURI AND KANSAS WHILE KANSAS CITY STAR REPORTERS ARE LIVING THE GOOD LIFE IN JOCO ON THE WEEKEND!!!
This isn't a post in praise of basement blogging . . . Which gully, awesome and powered by busty Brit hotties like Gemma Atkinson.
Rather . . . This is just a quick look at who really makes the news nowadays . . .
TPM put the Aiken "Legitimate Rape" Story on blast and is reporting the developing tale quicker, faster and better than Kansas City Star newsies . . . Also, the Twitter Trend was just icing on the cake.
Politico.com put the EXCLUSIVE tag on this one: Exclusive: FBI probed GOP trip with drinking, nudity in Israel
You've probably already seen this of Facebook . . . Once again, The Internets comes into the backyard of Dead Tree Media and takes stories that are shaping the nation's discourse . . . Meanwhile . . . I guess denizens of Kansas City's political discourse can wait to get their comment approved @ Midwest Voices. Or, even better . . . Wait for that paywall.
In 100 years kids will be in school studying the Internet Robber Barons and all the damage they did to just about everything.

Politics as if the government is a circus and it is being run from the monkey cage.
The Right Reverend, sorry you're an incumbent that needs to go. Or at least lose some sleep over the thought someone can beat me.
All those taxes for education and this is the result?
ReplyDeleteSo, is he saying that legitimate rape does not produce illegitimate children? If rape is a criminal act by definition, then how can it be legitimate? The real question is Akin too legit to quit?
ReplyDeleteNow, all politicians are going to be terrified at what they say to the "press". If you think this is a good thing, think again cause now, we'll never get even a hint of anything honest from these assholes. Oh, I know, as if....
