Media Focuses on Hsu Flight- Not Finances

I have been following the strange (and mostly unreported) case of fugitive criminal and major Democratic Party fundraiser Norman Hsu since September 5. Paul Mirengoff of the Power Line blog has a post today wherein he notes that the mainstream media, led by the Wall Street Jornal, are finally taking the time to look into Hsu's attempted flight from justice. However, as Mirengoff pointedly notes,

I think the pertinent questions are: Where did the money come from? And why was it so important to Norman Hsu that Hillary Clinton become president?

This is all too true. And as NewsBusters contributing editor Warner Todd Huston wrote ealier today, even the New York Times admits that the media is not doing a good job of covering the Hsu scandal. I am still waiting for one of the so-called major media organs to actually devote some investigative resources to delving into the root of Hsu's money. The man appears to have absolutely no real source of income, and even the MSM admits that his listed addresses appear to be at best distantly related to the man himself. So where did his money come from? I am ssure that with all those levels of editors and the resources to sspend so much time on the Larry Craig scandal, the MSM can find someone to discover the answers to these two questions raised by Mirengoff. Anyone in the MSM? Anyone at all? Hat tip to Power Line. Cross-posted on StoneHeads.

The lib-tard media thinks everyone is like them. No we are not. You can't hide the truth by re-directing the story.

Everyone is not a Daily Kos type that can be distracted like a kitten is by throwing a ball of yarn across the room.

I can just see the smoke coming out of their ears:

"there must be a way to "report" this without actually reporting it at all...BUT HOW?!?!?!"

Hint, hint, check the Clinton Foundation website, who are they in partnership with? hint, hint...  http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?&pid=1054&srcid=895 There are several besides this one ...

Hsu and WALMART

American consumers buy mostly Chinese goods at WalMart, laundered
profits go to Chinese front groups to Hsu to Hillareek, how hard was
that to figure out?

Hsu - the story should be "Clinton scandals."

"..am still waiting for one of the so-called major media organs to actually devote some investigative resources to delving into the root of Hsu's money."

And still waiting for one of the so-called major media organs to actually devote some investigative resources into reminding the reader and viewer of the long history of campaign finance (including historic convictions and penalities) and business scandals that seem to follow Bill and Hillary Clinton around.

...be holding my breath on this one, that's for sure. Even if anyone in the MSM does investigate this, it won't be reported until after the 2008 Elections.

The Clinton machine has done its' best to hide everything. How many people are asking if it was simply a coincidence that the $850,000 in 'returns' was announced during the Petraeus smear?

ABC hidden blog story which contains no details. To whom are the donations being returned? The donors?

[Hsu] appeared to be in fetal position, bare-chested. “It appeared this person had fallen out of bed,” she said. - WSJ

“The strain he has been under during the last week has been enormous, and perhaps unbearable."  - NYT

Perhaps he googled "Clinton Deathwatch."

  Ignorance is bliss. It's easier to repeat a mindless slogan than to do some actual research.
