Sex Scandal Hits Atlanta-Area MegachurchBy DORIE TURNER
Associated Press Writer
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) -- The 80-year-old leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch is at the center of a sex scandal of biblical dimensions: He slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her.

The AP is starting to get into tabloid territory.
Have you seen this? Anyone else?

I found it while scanning at Crooks and Liars last night. The video is powerful stuff. This appears to be a brand new site and David Vincent, the creator, has a lot to say about media conglomeration.
The description about his book had me hesitating just a bit to mention this in Glenn's comment section:
Confessions of a PsyOps Agent:“I want people to know how the game is played.” — David Vincent
This book is my version of OJ’s, If I Did It. If I was, let’s say, a covert psychological operations expert working within the US intelligence community, this would be the book I would write. Now, I’m not saying that I’m actually a covert PsyOps agent with first hand experience in manipulating public opinion, if I was I couldn’t admit that. So, I’m not… I mean who the hell would believe me anyway. People would think I’m crazy if I said that I worked for Henry Kissinger in a black program designed to create and manipulate public opinion. Who would believe me if I said that I spent time learning from Edward Bernays? Most people probably don’t even know who he is. How many people would actually believe that I ran a covert program that worked with the NSC, CIA, 4th POG and Army Intel to conducted psychological ops within the US. I mean, it isn’t even legal to conduct PsyOps within in the US, on your own people. Then again, in the covert world nothing is illegal. The black world is above the law, above the Constitution as well. Shit, it’s national security, anything goes! The bottom line has to be that I have nothing to do with the intel community and the book cannot contain any Classified Information. Everything in the book is above-board information that is available in the public record. You can take what I present and research it for yourself. Consider this book a starting point. – David V
As I said, not quite sure what to think of the above, so would welcome others' input. I want this site to be for real because it seems to be a grassroots effort at raising awareness and finding a way to combat all of the assaults we are sustaining to the Constitution and our rights. If nothing else, the video is powerful and should be required viewing for everyone who considers him/herself a US citizen.
I posted this to the tail-end of the Brian Williams comments but never got a response from anyone. A lot of folks had already left for this post and maybe it is worth ignoring, but I sure would like to hear opinions from you and others here whose opinions I value:
