    If there is no conspiracy, then where is the media? Is this story really not that big of a deal?

    Pre 2000 yes. A big enough story to be on some front pages. But with the layers of deeply rooted corruption in the current junta, this is equivalent to a toddler shitting his diaper.

    Or maybe the american public is finally tired out of endless conspiracy stories and growing up?

    Of course it's a big deal.

    But it's an inconvenient big deal.

    So it's a big deal conveniently avoided by the story.

    Symmetry is found all over the Place.

    It isn't a big deal because it is a Democrat. The only place you'll hear about this sort of news is perhaps on Lou Dobbs.

    So one of the worst gun-grabbers turns out to be brokering sweetheart deals for arms manufacturers. She also used to carry a gun in her purse.

    Or The Factor! Or Hannity and Lapdog! Or 3rd Reich Radio! Or the Washington Times! Or in a White House press release! After 7 years of total rule the righties still whine about being picked on. Truly pathetic.

    Curious. This seems a very new story. WorldNetDaily posted an hour ago, but just rehashed the Byrne story at MetroActive.

    Give the story a couple of days. It might--just might--be that the real reporters are actually doing research on the story. We'll see.

    In the meantime, I'll also point out that it does nothing useful to use sources that include what are obvious editorial commentaries under the heading "News". At present, right-wing outlets like WND do themselves a disservice rushing to the presses with an editorial and casting it as news. When the real story breaks, such unprofessionalism actually has the market effect of building sympathy for the target.

    Feinstein has walked a fine line for years; if she's finally tripped over herself, we shouldn't be surprised. But it's very hard to tell what the story actually is when the people telling it would rather puff their chests and make editorials out of sketchy facts.

    We'll see what the week brings.

    I think you're confusing the want of whining for being picked on with the sound of chronic sighing for want of a worthy adversary.

    She actually resigned over that? Cool.

    Maybe it will set a good example for others, and we won't have to impeach the entire Republican leadership in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

    The self righteous tighty righties have lower standards it appears.

    Tribalism trumps intellectual honesty.

    As if this thread was required to prove the point here at Sciforums.

    First thing I thought, too. Hopefully with her gone, we'll be able to get a bunch better guns with all the stupid bans here in Cali.
