I was actually rather disappointed in NBC's coverage of the Live Earth concerts. I was visiting my Mother in the Sacramento area, and she only has basic cable. It wasn't on any channel that she could get!! I was really upset because I'd been looking forward to the concerts of course!! CNBC was supposed to be showing the concerts, but they were showing infomercials all day!! Did anyone else notice that? They finally showed part of it in the evening.

I found CNN to be very supportive of the event. CNN, I believe, has been very good about keeping the environmental crisis in their reporting. MSNBC sort of is, but not enough. And then there's Fox News - What a loser!! Fox News is so evil I can't even believe it. I think they WANT the North Pole to melt.

CNN gets my award for best environmental reporting.

None of the above.
There is no honest media since the day Dan Rather was taken down. None at all at the end of the day

Helen Thomas and Dan Rather need to get everyone to ask the question to Bush directly about the signing statement giving Bush the ultimate only power if another 9-11 happens(when they do it again to make it happen).

They need to directly ask Bush on camera-Are you a dictator to be? And repeat and repeat it.

An Oregon Congressman on the Homeland Security committee yesterday was denied access to look at the signing statement executive statement Bush issued, as is his right under our law to see, and at the end of the day, he said, as they are not letting me see it, for no good reason, maybe all those people talking about a conspiracy are indeed telling the truth.

What is Bush hiding and when did he hide it?

That sure fits into the puzzle of what are they up to. How about this, another 9-11 just at the right time could solve the war in Iraq battle going on in congress and keep the troops there and in the light of a sure democratic presidential victory, possibly disrupt the election, Bush could pull an FDR and decide it would be best for the country if he stayed another term? Those tricky terrorists picked the night before the election and maybe not necessarily here in the US but something drastic enough to scare the crap out of country, maybe nuclear. That's alot of what ifs but the DVD OilSmokeAndMirrors (http://oilsmokeandmirrors.com/)makes a more believable case for conspiracy then Loose Change which was hardly even a serious effort by its creators till it gained a following.

But not to ignore your post Kim, Robert F. Kennedy jr.s book "Crimes Against Nature" would help you understand the problems with the media and more. And for me the most recent media omission is Peak Oil. There are lots of communities around the country that are taking the depletion of the worlds oil (why do you think it's called a nonrenewable resource) seriously by following the very important "Oil Depletion Protocol" http://www.oildepletionprotocol.org/

When you hear or read what seems to be only someone's notion that the war in Iraq is about oil, you might think yeh probably, but if you dig in, read some of Richard Heinbergs books (which aren't fiction or just theories but good verifiable facts), take a good look at the depletion website, and stop waiting for the fractured media to tell you what it should be telling you, then you'd recognize the same delinquent reporting that we have for every thing you would expect to be dominating the news. Watching the news is like waiting to see a fish jump, you know it will, but most of the time all you see is water.

Probably what scares Bush and Cheney more than the terrorists is Al Gore running for president. Who knows what they will do to stop that.

Come to think of it - If you start seeing a lot on the news about Bush's world wide concert, think twice. :wtf:
In my opinion Bush and Cheney are one step away from telling you to drink the KoolAid. :o
