Where's the Dissent? (1)
Where's the Dissent? What would they have to do to get more media coverage?There needs to be some voice of dissent coming out of Congress. It’s the way the media works in these matters. Protesters are taken more seriously when there are public officials who speak for them, and the media tend to go from that development in a story to find more grass-roots opinion to include in a story.
Well.... that's just not right. What of the journalists that go against the mainstream to actually report things that aren't given an implicit go-ahead by a member of Congress? That used to be respected. Now they're all afraid they'll be discredited as a loony liberal or something? Where's the spine? Where's the desire to report and reflect what's actually going on in America?
