Well, if your coverage is\/was  <br>  <br> so damn good MSNBC then why did you wait until AFTER the public disclosures to cover it?!?!   <br>  <br> And where the hell is Ralph Nader?  It seems to me that networks might want to talk to the one man  <br>  <br> who was actually warning us about all this crap years ago!  But I guess that would have disrupted  <br>  <br> our 401Krack binge euphoria that propped up the great neo-liberal economy of the 90s...  Bottom  <br>  <br> line Corporate Media Gods at ABCNNBCBS ... Talk to Ralph Nader and you will discuss the  <br>  <br> problems of the future that are festering today.  But then again, I guess the ratings are better when  <br>  <br> you employ catchy news slogans and post tragedy analysis by your crack economic reporter  <br>  <br> Ashleigh Banfield and her $1000 glasses to cover \"shocking\" news stories! <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Why Aren't We Hearing More From Ralph Nader On The Topic Of Corporate Greed?","numcomment":1,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2002\/08\/18293.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":18295,"heading":"Ralph was on CSPAN a week or so ago...","article":"Mr. Nader actually was on a talk show on CSPAN about three weeks ago (I believe it was the weekend\r\nof July 20th) that was broadcast at 12mindnight (!!!) on monday the 22nd).  It was a rebroadcast of a \r\nshow that originally aired Sunday at midnight I believe.  To put it bluntly, the man dropped major bombs\r\non the whole corporate scandal and fielded calls from several critics from the democratic party and\r\nset straight some republican callers who were trying to trip him up.  His remarks were so savy and on\r\npoint about how screwed up both parties are in light of the corporate scandal that the host of the show was noticeably destabilized.\r\n\r\nI caught the program on a fluke while channel surfing and unfortunately, since I'm not a regular viewer\r\nof CSPAN, I can't recall the name of the show or its host.  It was a call-in show that aired on Mondays\r\nat around midnight.  But rest assured that the man has made his position known about what is going\r\non and some people in the green party gave their support on the air.  Now if only the cable networks\r\nwould let him speak at a primetime hour that the average citizen can watch.  (and on that note, if\r\nonly the bullshit LA &quot;Weakly&quot; would stop bashing him just because he speaks up on what they\r\nno longer have the balls to say...)","author":"republicans AND democrats suck.....","parent_id":18293,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-08-11 17:20:08","modified":"2002-08-11 17:20:08","fileurl":""}]}
