Wow -- A Celebrity Trial that REALLY Is Important!

I can't watch CNN anymore because I absolutely loathe the coverage they're giving the court battle over Anna Nicole Smith's carcass. Sure, we all look at the people involved in that fight and ask ourselves: "What is wrong with these people?" But what we should really ask ourselves is "what is wrong with the networks that they're obsessed with this circus of death?"

There is a much more interesting and important court case playing out, one that has gone to the jury. The verdict, when it comes in, could send shockwaves through the Washington Establishment and the mainstream media, which has been exposed as a bunch of hacks and toadies-to-power throughout the trial. I'm talking about the trial of Scooter Libby.

Libby is a former aide to Vice President Cheney, on trial for lying to a grand jury about exposing the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame. Now THIS is a trial. If you haven't been reading any of it, you should definitely read about the closing arguments. A good place to start is by CLICKING HERE. The mainstream media has nothing to approach this kind of coverage. Instead, they're obsessed with dead Anna Nicole like cats with a ball of yarn.
