MSM priorities

Evidently the sham debate about Iraq pullout time table is big news. The fact that the vote ran counter to American's wishes is interesting though. Majority wants Iraq pullout date set

Stories of abuses of detainees committed under the Bush leadership has been spotty.
You'd think these incidents were isolated spikes in an otherwise acceptable conduct of a war.
But in the background these investigations have been going on for years in relative secrecy... and even promises to share findings with the American people go unfulfilled... unless prodded by FOIA.
Pentagon details U.S. abuse of detainees

While not putting undue emphasis on these abuses is the right thing to do... it is also incumbent on AP, Reuters etc. to not put undue emphasis on obvious political manipulations such as the so called debate held in the House Friday the 16th of June 2006.

Let's see how long the "abuse" story remains highlighted v.s. the sham debate story.

The MSM can inform, or it can manipulate. Currently I think it is a tool for the Government... instead of a tool for the People.
