#1 I actually believe this guy.
You'd never know if you depended on MSM for your news.

#4 Lying sack he may be, but I agree with Big Jim: if I didn't check the blogs, Fox and other new media, I wouldn't have known about it either. I'll bet Sherman's staff doesn't research outside of approved sources.

#5 In that case Steve he's a pathetic stupid sack of ...

Of course anyone who lists NewsWeak as their news source has other problems as well.

#6 There are many donk politicians and some diehard donk voters who refuse to watch Fox News--something about plausible denial, the ostrich syndrome or refusal to hear the truth.

#7 or there is the other reason--just downright stupidity!

#8 Somebody should tell the congressman about Rantburg.

#9 Exactly, Ebbang. I rarely watch TV news or read a newspaper. Rantburg and other internet sites are my news sources. Yet I am sure that I am better informed on national and international news than I used to be.
I mean, where else ca you read about nuggets from the Urdu press, or the shutter guns from the RAB.

#10 '...when someone asked if she had heard the latest about Acorn,(she responded) âI had to answer ânoâ because I get all my news from The New York Times.â'

#11 "In contrast, Fox News covered the issue repeatedly."

Meybe that's a clue about which news sources can be trusted to bring you the actual news, you idiot.

You need to get out of your DC bubble more often.

#12 Congressman Sherman has no staff? Even if he missed any of the discussion in the media, his staff should have given him summary of all pertinent news.

He could fire his staff, cancel his Times subscription, and google rantburg.com. He would find himself much better informed.
