Occasionally we actually bring original content to the world. Yeah, it's seldom, but it does happen. Mostly that original content is in the form of interviews, entertainment, or analysis, but from time to time we get mindblowing tips that I figure are sure to generate some coverage. And by coverage, I mean hits.
So, what do you (the readers) make of the fact that we were tipped to a third Saddam Hussein video posted at a Baathist website, and yet more than 24 hours later are we remain the sole media outlet to have it? Even more mindnumingly stupifying is the fact that not a sole media outlet has even reported that there is a third video!
I understand why blogs don't need to cover this. I understand why you, the readers, don't want to watch said video. And I understand if some of you think it is below the dignity of this blog to post it (even though we are a blog....which calls itself, you know, The Jawa Report, so how dignified did you think we were in the first place?). But is anyone seriously suggesting that it is beneath the dignity of the MSM to cover a Saddam Hussein corpse video? So, why the silence? Is it because:
a) the MSM has come to their senses, found religion, been touched by the Holy Ghost, and no longer is interested in snuff films which are intended to egg on insurgents to kill?
b) the MSM finds another Saddam Hussein snuff film passé? Call us back, Rusty, when you find that Hussein necrophelia video we've been hearing about. If the newest video isn't worse than the last one, what's the point? As Ringo told Homer and the B-Flats on top of Moe's roof, "It's been done"?
c) the MSM continues to have their heads firmly inserted up rectums?
Really, I don't know the answer. But maybe you do. How am I ever going to fulfill my lifelong dream of doing nothing without a little MSM affirmation? And the hits. Don't ever forget about the hits. Which lead to that crazy blog money.....

If the video can be spun to show "Iraq = Bush's vietnam," it will get plenty of airplay. Right now, the video is just "hey look, Hussein is dead." No lefty propaganda utility at all, and so it is ignored.

"sometimes you kick, sometimes you get kicked."
MSM drives the sheep, Jawa reigns them in.
They know that.
You're still cool.
