Ask most people about Wilson, Plame, Novak, and they either have no clue, or no interest. I hate to say it, but I don't know that this story would even sell papers anymore. And if the media forced the issue, the GOP would simply fall back on the "see! the liberal media is at it again!"

While it's true that the media is a commercial business, I don't really buy that the public has no interest. Moreover, I'm inclined to believe that their opinions are made for them before anything went to press, on air, ect. My question is in who makes news a non-issue? Who decides what makes the front or back page and why?
