Saturday Massacre: Pelosi, Israel, Wasserman Schultz call for Weiner to resign

[The Vorlon]

I think this story is a great example of how media has change and how the internet has disrupted the ability of the Democrats and the media to bury and/or plant a story.

In 1960 if CBC had run something equivalent to the 2004 Dan Ra^ther fabrications and forgeries about Bush, there would have been nothing anybody could have done about it - there was no offsetting megaphone to expose the bias and yellow journalism and get it into the  public consciousness, but in 2004 Drudge, and talk radio were, able to expose the forgery for what it was.

In 2011 with the Weiner matter, originally the media and the Dems tried to bury it - and in 1960 it would have stayed buried (just like all of JFK's affairs were) - Fortunately, in 2011 there are many ways to spread the word.

The twitter revolution from Egypt seems to have crossed the pond.................

You're entirely correct except for your implication that burying scandals is something only Democrats have tried to do.

Both sides have scandals, both try to bury them

The left has always has CBS, abc, NBC.....

Now the right has fox, drudge, limbaugh........
