He used his original web page for his move to the senate. The earthlink article refers to the democratic party failing to be able to field a candidate just tree days after Hackett threw in the towel because of opposition from the national party. For some reason, it does not mention Hackett for reasons I will never fathom. #27 – katy,

I only posted here because no one seemed to have noticed the report which was in the news a mere three days after Paul Hackett cried uncle (as in - enough is enough).

The corporate press, much like the Congress, just don't seem inclined to hold people in the Admin accountable, at least not anymore. About the only way I see this becoming an interest to the corporate media, is if one of their own is on the business end of an indictment as a "news informer." Yet another example of the GOP "shoot the messenger" strategy. Now how do we gt the MSM to report on the bush authoritarianism of America that Mr Aftergood rightly describes?

When important news is breaking from around the world, you need a news service like ‘Thinkfast’ to report these news stories. It would seem that the Whitehouse could easily suppress certain news topics in the US. Then this type of a news service is essential in counteracting what can only be described as the ‘censorship’ of the news.
