Sadly, you are so correct about this being the beginning.

Did you see Umair Haque's recent post about mainstream media's reluctance to call out the fascism of the political right?( Gee Whiz...We must not offend roughly 1/2 of our advertising revenue base...Money, money, money)

His other point: that this incident of NP's husband being attacked was exactly meant to be an attempt to harm or kill Nancy P. As much as we feel horrible this happened to her husband, how many media sites actually call out the incident for what it was?

The intruder calls out "Where's Nancy?" There you have it, he was there to harm or kill Nancy Pelosi.

There is so much danger when media candy coats or dials down the mess we are in.
