Articles about some nebulous government entity eavesdropping on *everything* we do on the net doesn't sell ad space.

Sadly, this says more about us than it does about CNN...

The fact that when I go to a COM top level domain name and it asks me what "edition" I want tells me all I need to know about the organization.
If I wanted the freaken Mexico edition I would go to cnn.mx

The media is always a conspiracy if it doesn't reinforce my beliefs.

Yes, because the US government has just been so tolerant of leaks these days. No way they'd want to force it off the front page as soon as possible, nope, that's just not how they roll. They're such nice, open, easy going guys and gals, those politicians. :p

We get the names, faces and biographies of mass murderers drilled into us for weeks, ditto deceased movie stars, but a massive breach of civil liberties doesn't last 48 hours? It's sickening.

Only mention of the NSA is a small banner link in the upper right. Wonder if someone in the Obama administration got to them. :p
YMMV, but I saw seven links related to the NSA story on the CNN home page just now. I don't know if they were all unique stories or not, but there are plenty of mentions.

yet another example of liberalism flying blind.

Or ahead of the curve.

What's going to change? Maybe CNN better represents the country. Destroy the Constitution? Bush did that, old news. Obama keeps it burning - who REALLY cares? A few irate Republicans who think he's a Muslim anyway.

Dems know he's still their man, and nothing can change that til 2017 after they choose in 2016. Even then, perhaps they know further that the next smuck in office will be just as hostile towards civil liberties, just as contempt for us, and bald face lying to our faces on national TV. "Just Meta data"

Maybe they know there's nothing to report. The American people have what they want, and only a revolution can stop it. They're not going to report that on the news.

It died in the media shortly after the Pew poll about the NSA issue came out. If there's one thing that the media and politicians both have in common it's being a whore to public opinion.

I agree uninformed, lemmings (R) and drones (D) have the big government they voted for and deserve.

More than likely the proles are back to their regular televised nonsense instead.

“Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!”

it's called a media blackout.

facebook has already blocked his fan pages, twitter is censoring the hashtag, reddit is probably going to crash it's getting so much attention..


from our regime.... silence.
from the propoganda ministry: putin jacked our football ring........ (oh yeah it was 5 years ago, didnt mention that)


honestly, if there was ever a chance for something to snowball out of control.. it's right. now. watch closely, obama and putin's meeting today went...not so good.. too.. basically, we're not in a standoff with russia. via proxy war we've inserted ourselves in.. IN A SOVEREIGN NATIONS CIVIL WAR. and our counter chess piece.. Turkey.. is on the brink. we, are on the brink of something developing very very fast..

and little old Netanyahu.. you know what's he's doing? planning his next move.
