Why doesn't Yahoo show news about the illegality of the President's warrantless wiretapping?

Question

I amr referring to the news about the Hon. Anna Diggs Taylor decision, the federal judge in Michigan, and the plaintiffs including the ACLU, Greenpeace, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, to declare unconstitutional the warrantless wiretapping by the NSA and other secret government agencies. This news became public three or four days ago.

Answer 1

Its already on appeal. I hope they keep them.

Answer 2

Big problem with Freedom of the Press now days is that the news segment has to be as competitively profitable as the Used Car Section of the daily newspaper. If it is not, then the profit committee of the privately owned TV Network hires someone like Russ Limpbow to spout insanity.
It is a very serious problem for a democracy because who is going to inform the citizens when the moneyed corporations own the media and also strongly support the Republican Party and the Bush's?
Maybe George Bush had the right idea when he hired a phony reporter to ask preplanned questions at the new conferences, Bush seemed to really enjoy it and had a ten minute answers ready that seemed both sincere and wise.
When Gore is hired in 08 to be President, maybe we could get Hillary Clinton hired as a reporter for the New Your Times and have her asking question of the New President.
What do you think?

Because Yahoo news is wise enough to realize Judge Taylor is only one Federal judge (a Jimmy Carter appointed proven liberal at that) with only one opinion that is most certainly going to be overturned. It's her "15 minutes of fame". No different than so many others ahead of her that sought glory and recognition when they thought the time was right, only to realize how foolish they were in the long run.

What people (and organizations) won't do the get recognition. Sometimes even ask foolish questions on Yahoo answers.

Answer 5

Ask who owns Yahoo? Who has controlling or majority investor interest? Most information on the planet is controlled by a small, elite group of people. Why doesn't NPR ever report on Walmart's abuses? Because they receive LOTS of funding from Walmart! Which is a shame, cause I really respect NPR (National Public Radio...Mandelit del Barco...what a beautiful voice! Sigh...)

On a darker note, we'll never know what govenmental goon squads visit Yahoo CEO houses in a swanky California suburb in the dark of night armed with stuff best left to Scorcese and nightmares. Heck, here's to hoping they don't visit your or my door tonight!!!!
