The media is trying to crush the story into oblivion as fast as they can while still "reporting" it.

Yeah, and the New York Slimes didn't do the same thing yesterday and today.
Let's see, a memo linked Kofi Annan to a U.N. Oil-for-Food program contract awarded to the company that employs his son, and the Slimes decides to bury it on page 6.
Oil-for-Food scandal investigators later said they were "urgently" reviewing the new evidence. That's worthy of the front page, or at least the second page, isn't it? Not according to the New York Slimes, which put it on page 10.
Oh yeah, the Washington Post put the same story on page 12.
Yet, you consider the New York Slimes to be the pinnacle institution of American journalism.
Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Did you even read your own post before you decided to start this thread?
So they put the Schiavo story eleven links down. Big fucking deal. You can still see it plain as day at first glance if you know how to read.
Here are the Slimes, though, burying an important development that has to do with the Oil-for-Food scandal under six and ten pages of crap before you ever get to it.
Why did you give the slimes a free ride and not Fox News?
