And when I'm gone, it's my hope a few DUers and those of like mind will keep it going. I worry what happens if they go and the other side is left alone to tell the story their way.

None -- and I mean NONE -- of ABCNNBCBSFakeNoiseNutworks and the rest of Corporate McPravda cover the NSA story in anything but the most superficial terms. Without background and context, We the People could be led to believe that a new commission, say, and its recommendations will have solved everything.

But, not really, per Greenwald.
