    This is not the first story disappeared...

    The past few months have seen a few, but the biggest was the blackout on the story about cabinet level meetings (including the VP) on how to torture individual detainees. The President himself confirmed this and then...crickets.

    I would also include the lack of curiosity about McCain's tax returns, while harping on Obama and Clinton's.

    It is also important to note that for a long time the media blamed their lack of interest in these kinds of stories on the Democrats, saying they should have been more aggressive. In both the propaganda and torture stories leading Democrats have been screaming about them, but still no interest. Shameful.
