We knew for years that the NSA was spying on and mining data on US citizens. That story was deemed not quite fit to print until the UK "Guardian" elaborated on what we already knew. We knew for about two years that the IRS was used as a political weapon until Lois Lerner planted a question at a Bar Association conference. Until then, the media did not find the story newsworthy.
What will be the next spiked story to go viral? My money is on voter fraud. Like the IRS scandal, evidence of abuse is all over the blogosphere. This is a little bit different however because small town newspapers have reported on local stories of electoral cheating. A wider, broader dare we say it--conspiracy--has not yet been advanced by the mainstreamers.
Let's hope that Canada Free Press or Russia Times or The Guardian or The Telegraph or some other foreign news agency follows up on the leads.
