Why does media never report on the U.S. gov't in exile?

It's about time we hear from them and their policies on how to run U.S.fair and efficient.

I'm sure this first draft of history needs some revising but its central muse is relevant today. Don't drink the Obama Koolaid!

THE BEST WAR EVER -- by John Stauber & Sheldon Rampton

Idea #3

When the magic fades embrace what David Brooks calls "Obama Comedown Syndrome." We can't drink the Koolaid the way our Republican brethren did 2001-2005. Keep a list of Obama sins. He failed us on public financing. He grossly oversold his message of unity - his presidency won't remove the NRA, Fox News, American anti-intellectualism. Remain skeptical and vigilant. While CNN seeks profits, TPM seeks truth. What a privilege! May Rampton's "The Best War Ever" humble you to the task ahead.

Idea #2

Columbia Journalism Review's "Overload! Journalisms battle for relevance in an
age of too much information" by Bree Nordenson has some timely advice. The Council on Foreign Relations' site is a shining example of how to execute many of the ideas.

Idea #1

Twain said "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." Read The Numbers Game: The Commonsense Guide to Understanding Numbers in the News, in Politics, and in Life by Michael Blastland and Andrew Dilnot.
