Why were all the previous comments deleted? Did the MSM monitor return to the room?

I hit refresh and the comments were all gone… it had been a very interesting discussion. Someone must have hit the nail on the head and big brother didn’t like it too much.

I have said since it’s inception that PJM is a tool for the MSM to use to co-opt bloggers. The MSM likes the content plus bloggers ability to create and it also gives them a chance to re-assert their gatekeeper ambitions. It is that ability to determine what is ‘news’ that the left values enough to support the MSM. Without radical socialists such as Gates, Soros and Lewis the MSM would have ran out of money long ago. CNN made Turner a millionaire. He was a billionaire before that. Oh well, Hanoi Jane got hers before hitting the life boat.
