in '04 Janet Jackson performed the halftime show at the SuperBowl.<br />At the end of the show JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE reached around her and ripped her top open.<br />The lamestream media referred to this

wasn't there.<br /><br />Similarly, when Ron Paul came in second in the Iowa caucuses this week the media skipped right over him to report on third, fourth, and fifth place. &nbsp;If I remember
