That sounds like modeerfing.

Whenever he starts spouting about a mainstream media coverup there is always someone a few posts later who posts a bunch of references to the story on all the major networks. Things like "secret" and "coverup" just have a different meaning to tin hatters, I think the official definition for them is:

"a topic that isn't really important to most so not heavily covered in the news"

You want to see how InfoWars works?

1. Go to infowars.com
2. Click on the "advertise" link on the bottom
3. Click on "media kit"
4. Page three, ways to advertise

http://static.infowars.com/ads/mediakit_public.pdf

TEXT LINKS
Disguised as news headlines near the top of the Breaking News or Prison Planet section on PrisonPlanet.com and get guaranteed massive immediate hits. Your text ad can say anything you like, and varies in pricing for characters.



That is your "news" for you, paid links that they clearly and openly state can say anything and will be disguised as news headlines.



You poor suckers.

Again, they mistake derision for fear.

Oh, no. It's all part of the vast conspiracy you see.
They know that the minute they raise the issue of lack of coverage that the media will plant all of those links to make it look like there actually is coverage in order to discredit them.
Really. The truth is out there.

Not a very well-kept secret now, is it?

Anyway, FOX reported on it two and half weeks ago:

Obama Impeachment Bill Introduced in Congress - President Obama - Fox Nation

And a thread was duly started right here in this forum around the same time:

https://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...-congress.html
As you say, barely a mention on the 12th with no comments from a FoxNation website, nothing on the mainstream. Then you link to a thread that quoted WND. My searches brought up independent sources. Maybe that's why the major networks are seeing a major downturn in viewers. They give us commentary on what they want us to think, instead of what we need to know or should know. Independents still have legitimate investigative journalists.
CNN lost almost 50% last month. Current fired Olbermann and replaced him with Spitzer. Same ol crap.
CNN Loses Half Its Viewers: Corporate Media Downhill Plunge Continues As Alternative Media Explodes :

Independent sources like rt.com, wnd, knowthelies, stripes.com, dprogram.net, prisonplanet, mathaba.net, theintelhub.com, globalresearch.ca and many more sites are where your going to find out what is really going on. Otherewise you are clueless, which is exactly what the globalists want you to be. That's why they introduced SOPA and PIPA, so they can control the flow of information.

Standing, clapping, cheering, RIGHT ON!!

I thought everyone knew this.. The most trusted name in news? lost 50 % of its viewers? .. about time. Anderson Cooper is trying to incite violence over the martin case..

Like I have maintained "Real Americans are very concerned. the rest have their heads buried in the sand worshiping Obama.

They are working on that one from a different angle now.

Ignoring the fact that MSNBC's rating ate up

and Faux Spews' ratings are also down?
