Today's Washington Post front page leads with more of their favorite fare: Dem. and Republican primary and debate conversational (no hard news) stories... but the post BURIES today's REAL NEWS _DEEP_ in the paper, on pages D-1 and D-3.
On page D-1 is the story "SEC Votes to LIMIT Shareholder Rights." On the heels of the massive ENRON and Arthur Andersen, World Com (etc.) financial scandals, ONE MIGHT THINK that this story deserves FRONT PAGE, A-1 coverage... Republicans are set to LOOSEN the ACCOUNTABILITY of corporations to their stockholders yet again!
Sure enough, BURIED on page D-3 is a Whore Post story "Three Linked to Enron Fraud Plead Guilty."
The Whore Post and "major media" - HELPING the Bush-Cheney Republican Party BURY news of the massive financial scandals and fraud of Enron corp.
This treatment of "hard news" (i.e. burying it) by the Post, also illustrates the COMPLICITY of the Democratic Party 'leadership' of Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Harry Reid: They FOLLOW the "conventional wisdom" notion that the SEC story is "no big deal", and ALLOW the Republicans and post to BURY IT deep in the paper's business section.
