News Takes a Vacation

Is news on vacation? Seems like it's been awfully quiet over the last week or so. Makes me wonder how much of what I think about is governed by a single group. Tis the season when the main stream media goes on vacation. News papers, TV news, talk radio and TV news talk shows. O'Reilly, Hannity, etc. all quite. The discussion goes down to a whisper. Blogs have become a media for conversation as well as a source for information. But this time of year emphasizes the dependence that we all have on the main stream media.
