Leland Yee is no longer a story… but CNN is.

John Hames shared with you:   Leland Yee is no longer a story… but CNN is. hotair.com - It's not that there isn't still an important news story unfolding in the saga of California State Senator Leland Yee… there is. In fact, federal indictments were handed down on Friday and one of his alleged co-conspirators was ordered released on a quarter million dollars bail. But the fact is that there's a fair chance that this story has pretty much been told already. Assuming the allegations are true, the situation has been fairly well described. A hugely corrupt and even more hypocritical Democrat who ran on stricter gun control laws was caught channeling campaign donations and bribes to expedite the illegal smuggling of weapons. It would take something truly extraordinary to make this story shine with a fresh light. (Think of something along the lines of the deals going much further up the food chain to bigger fish or some sort of established tie to a known terrorist organization beyond the local gangs.) This is, as I said above, beyond curious. And while this is nothing but personal conjecture on my part at this point, it couldn't possibly have been an accident. Somebody had to have made a conscious decision that Leland Yee's name would not be uttered on CNN, and that person must have been pretty high up. But why? What's so special about Yee? It's not as if they haven't covered other Democrats in trouble. Available on the App Store.
