Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment

I bet you didn't know this happened last night. I sure didn't until just now, and I barely missed it.

I found nothing about in my daily readings of MSNBC.com, CNN.com, and other news sites. Luckily, I happened to looking at Alternet.org's video page and came across it here.

I then did a Google search on "Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment" and found that CBS news devoted two whole paragraphs to it! Upon going to cbsnews.com, the only place I could find the story was under the category "most viewed stories." It's not under the main news stories and it's not under politics. So where the hell is it? (At least it's under most viewed!).

In any event - do you need more proof that our media corporations are manipulating news? Here is a story that is obviously important to a lot of people if it makes CBS news' most viewed list, yet the story is nowhere to be found on its site, let alone almost anywhere else in the mainstream media. Why? Give this some time and seriously think about this.

Why would the fact that a Congressman introduced Articles of Impeachment on the House floor NOT make headlines?

Wanna know what did make headlines?

Sleeping at work -- more of us are doing it (CNN)

$200 bird poop facial offered by spa (CNN)

Panda killed in China earthquake mourned (CBS)

Trial halted after jurors found playing Sudoku (Fox News)

Retired worker gets catfish named for him (MSNBC)



How is any of this crap news, let alone more important than Impeachment articles being brought upon a sitting president?

Don't just take my word for it. Watch and listen to Bill Moyers' speech at the National Conference for Media Reform.
