The following was sent to me by email. I don't recall seeing any of this in

media. Wonder why. I suppose freedom isn't really a liberal buzzword.
Although the shoe bomber isn't a funny subject, I always laugh my butt off when
the right wing starts yelling "The media aren't covering this!"
John, if the media didn't report the story,
where the sam h do you suppose the guy who sent you the e-mail got it?
And, do you suppose that perhaps one of the reasons you aren't seeing this in
the news at this time is because the shoe bomber was sentenced LAST JANUARY
30TH? ('course that does sort of take the wind out of the "liberal media"
complaint, so its probably better to pretend like its a current event, right?)
I plugged "shoe bomber sentencing" into the search engine and got 71 hits,
mostly from last Jan and Feb, and they included the so-called "liberal" media.
I h aven't read much about Ollie North or Spiro Agnew this week. Suppose it's a
conservative conspiracy to hush the truth? :-)
Heh, heh. Gotta admit I was doing a little trolling with the media hit. However,
I had also googled the phrase, and got not one hit from a major media source.
The focus of the judge's statement was on 'freedom'. The more we are 'governed',
the less we are 'free'. I suppose that freedom is an idea which takes last place
in the eyes of most socialists (liberals), and therefore the mainstream press
did not devote much time or space to such a statement.
