(When he's on the air, that is.)<br /><br />The MSM is far more concerned with Romney's flip-flops and lack of charisma, Gingrich's second wife, and Santorum's sweater vests and other Very Serious Issues of Vital Concern to All Thinking Americans. <br /> <br />This has left little time to cover grass-roots movements. Movements that are only exciting when cops are beating and gassing demonstrators. Movements that could well be be game-changers in November.gravymeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075831177588700301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-70425055356573022282012-02-16T14:50:17.382-05:002012-02-16T14:50:17.382-05:00Sorry -- I didn't do it on purpose.Sorry -- I didn't do it on purpose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-76067288153369195792012-02-16T14:29:09.510-05:002012-02-16T14:29:09.510-05:00I'm not surprised, based on your previous hist...I'm not surprised, based on your previous history, that the PREVIEW for chapter 7 is available when you said it would be, let alone the chapter itself.<br />I wonder who will finish first, Robert Caro and his excellent LBJ biography or you.

Why is no one talking about the Occupy movement's activities? Why is there no discussion of the civil rights violations that Glenn Greenwood is solely concerned with? Where is any debate about climate change? Why is the financial news about Wall Street so invisible in our press?
