    Is the media covering the "cover-up"?

    We have seen many cases in the past where a corporation has tried to shut down criticism only to find that the story about their attempts to suppress the story receive more media attention than the original story would have. Are the local media in Carney's district picking up this story of Comcast's "cover-up"? They should, and it may blow up in Comcast's and Carney's face.

    As a complete aside, it should no longer be called the "straight talk express" or the "just talk express." It should be called the Double Talk Express, and each time McCain throws out one of these flip-flops or inaccurate statements Obama should come back with "Oh, here comes that Double Talk Express again."
