House Dems propose alternative bill...MSM ignoring it
A group of House Dems have been outlining a plan--on ESPN today--that will likely address the concerns of many on both sides who are against the current bailout plan. Unfortunately, nobody in the main street media are talking about it. Peter DeFazio, Marcy Kaptur and others are making a lot of sense. They intend to meet with some Republicans tomorrow to draw up an alternative bill.

I like the sound of this. I just wish these fine "journalists" would get off their collective butts and do their job by actually covering it.

2. You can't blame the MSM.
After all, they haven't received their order from GOP Central Command yet. As soon as the Republicans figure out what they want the press to say, the press will get right back to doing their job.

4. Are they banning DEM pundits & politicians from going on cable shows & bringing it up?
I doubt it.

If DEMS want people to know about their alternate, then they better go on TV shows & promote it.

I doubt hat anyone is banning DEMS who want to talk about this from cable news show interviews or cutting their mics.
