We can further explore Moonraker Liberals another time. In the meantime, there's another interesting development emerging in Seattle. Matt Drudge points out that none of the networks are covering the mayhem live. We are constantly getting live, endless coverage of police searching parking lots for gunmen, NTSB hacks saying they have no more information, and nightly news anchormen proving they have hurricane-proof toupees. Some see signs of collusion among the corporate giants who run the cable networks.
Corporate values are pro-WTO, so they are giving the riots short shrift, goes the thinking.
Personally, I doubt that's the case. I'd bet it has to do with the fact that the media doesn't want to embarrass the administration. It wouldn't shock me if White House spinners have been on the horn trying to convince the nets not to make a big deal out of this. Don't be manipulated. Of course, that's a moronic argument because the press is manipulated 24-7.
