I'm going to preface this review with the disclaimer that I completely agree with the premise of this article - my review is about the article and its journalistic value and its execution. Muriel Kane started out of the blocks on a tear, but shortly thereafter, the article became irrelevant and derailed from the title. 'Mainstream Media Yawns....' would imply that MSM comments on their lack of reporting would be included in the article. There is none. There are quotes and sourcing from the blogosphere, including some unkind words by Salon's Koppleman, and Kucinich's Republican challenger (misstated as opponent.) The information is a compendium of opinions completely devoid of any statements from accused. While the Gitmo approach ... More »

The article points out that the reaction to Kucinich's filing 35 articles of impeachment has been ignored. The article has links to the limited mixed coverage that the story received covering both sides. It is not old news and the 65 pages of detailed information that Kucinich read on the house floor is newsworthy.

Kucinich is protecting the constitution and one wonders why MSM is not covering the story.

Content appears straightforward, viewpoint balanced and objective, a just-the-facts-ma'am sort of piece.

MSNB, on the other hand, provided commentary by a consitutional law professor from George Washington University on the value and efficacy of the proceedings. He made mention of some articles not being prosecutable, yet viewed it was nonetheless important, despite the fact that it was inevitably to be sentenced to death in ... More »

I agree with the author of this article. It is unbelievable that the mainstream media has chosen not to cover articles of impeachment against our president. In my book, that is pretty big news. And with the public's sentiments leaning towards this desire, it seems odd that they wouldn't cover this at all. Not even a blurb.

Yes but I would have included more information on which TV stations covered this event and how they covered it.
