Why does media refuse to document FEMA turning people AWAY????
Is it that hard for them to find facts/stories....hardly?

Is it an angle that they find "unbelievable"...yes?


Maybe this is a "third rail" issue...and they like their jobs.

1. I've seen a number of stories on it on the cable outlets

9. I have too
I've been watching CNN, but not other networks. The college students was one story, but they also mentioned the 13 Walmart trucks with water, and have referenced other reports of people being turned away.

3. The conscience of the media is limited...
They will stand next to the starving and plead for help...

They won't impede efforts to control the body counts and photo-ops...

Once the bulk of the people who wanted out were out, the newly found spine of the media collapsed.

5. PS: All this really does lend credibility to the "FEMA = The Men in Black"
claims.

I used to scoff at the idea that FEMA was pre-positioned in NYC on 9/10....

7. I sent an e-mail to Oprah asking her to follow up on this . . .
and maybe do a show featuring representatives of all of the groups that were turned away . . . have to wait and see if she decides to run with it . . .
