To Rachel Maddow

I love Rachel Maddow for the liberal that she is. But come on, what's up with all these you tube videos of obscure rants from some crazies in the red states? Quotes from people-who-will-never-make-it-to-anywhere-near-washington? Carefully selected out of context clips?

I have no doubt in believing that there are enough crazies in this country, but even for a liberal like me, I cringe when i see some of these tactics by the media. Don't stoop to the level of Fox news and O'reilly and Glenn Beck, you are far more intelligent than any of them!

Media in the dark

The foreign news media has been banned by a paranoid regime in covering the events unfolding in Iran. Then what did the main stream media do? They packed their bags and left; and then they subscribed to twitter feeds and you tube videos. Last night, CNN was streaming a you tube video continuously lamenting that they do not have access to information.

Really, aren't there other ways to get news for these major corporations? Don't they have telephone contacts with local news agencies and so forth? If indeed this is how it works, it seems like Iranian regime's ban is working to an extent.
