L.O.H.N.O.T.

stands for "Look Over Here, Not Over There"...

an original muleboy-ism 'as far as i know' to describe the intentional or accidental misdirections accomplished, purposefully or not, by the major corporate media conglomerates, when a particular story's coverage is overdone (see 'Feeding Frenzy'/'Herd Mentality' etc.) thus insuring that other stories go under-reported.

Thus Madame de Clinton's faux-pas #8,726 concerning primary time-lines hath overshadowed (almost said "obliterated") two major stories of the week.

1. John McCain's WORST WEEK THIS YEAR
(sinking polls, hagee, parsely, fundraiser cancelled, recent cancer surgery, and staff exodus/squabbling)

2. US Senate votes 70-26 to give W another $165 BILLION for WAR(s)

thanks "Madame", thanks alot... or should i say LOHNOT ?
