    @Strangely Enough

    I guess the trick is to find a network that will actually let you say/define torture, and who is practicing it, domestically.

    Why does Sisyphus come to mind?

    No kidding, and I'm beginning to wonder if Olbermann and Maddow would actually have the courage to cover something like this the way it should be covered. My guess is they don't, and they won't. Anything which exposes the management of mass media for what they really are, even in passing, is accidental at best, and verboten at worst.

    It is tiring trying to maintain hope that these things will be handled appropriately. *Sigh* I guess it's off to the garage to do a "rattle can restoration" on my new 1977 Ford LTD battle wagon.
