So, less than 48 hours after the funeral........

[XNASA]

RR is off the Google "In The News" headlines.

F*ckin' media.............I hate 'em. Oh, I was sick of the non-stop coverage last week...all the testimonials, etc....

But now.....phhhttttt. It's all but a fading memory. The (TV) media used the funeral and the associated pagentry to try and blow up their ratings, but now that the casket is in the ground and the family has stepped back from the spotlight ...............nothing.

I'm sure that the Sunday morning TV pundits are still talking RR up, but TV is always about a week behind anyway.

1. It was one last hoorah

for a guy who's been gone for a long time anyway.

2. But * will be selecting

RR's coffin as his running mate. Or at least hauling RR's box around with him for every campagin appearance, now.

3. CNN has a tribute to air tonight

Gag me with a Freeper stick.

4. Be glad we don't get an extra week of how the family is coping

:puke:

On the downside, the media will NEVER go into any of these details.

5. He's there right now

and he'll likely be there for a while. Google News rotates top search items every 10 minutes or so.

6. Same thing happened with Josef Stalin.

He went from "the greatest leader in history" to footnote to unmentionable in a few months.

These are the kinds of things that happen in a state controlled media, which of course, we have.
