Media Silence on 9/11

Media Silence on 9/11

We live in a county where crime scene investigation TV shows are all the rage. Yet, in one of the most serious crimes in this century, there has been no official rush to get all the facts.


If a person was shot in front of the World Trade Center, there would be more of an urgent inquiry into that killing than was accorded the murder of thousands of people in broad daylight. There would be a trial, witnesses giving sworn testimony, evidence presented in public for anyone interested to review and discern.


None of this has yet to happen with regard to 9/11. Is it any wonder that skepticism and suspicion flourish?


Many of us remember spending the summer of 1973 glued to the television, watching Sam Erwin's Watergate hearings. It was public, unrehearsed and very effective. It spotlighted a conspiracy orchestrated by the Oval Office. It helped the public see what was going on in the shadows. Will we ever see such a robust, no-holds-barred inquiry into 9/11?

add this with the MJ trial, the mad cow story, the kobe case ....all getting much much more attention...then the truth behind the killing of 3000 americans

:kick:

The lack of interest in the investigation is really interesting. I am already preparing a letter (almost a paper) to my newspaper to complain about the non-reporting about the 9-11 commission.

Commissions are appointed for the purpose of confirming, not uncovering the truth...if it leads away from the Official Story.

but for me this is only an example to proof the inadequate reporting of this newspaper regarding the 9/11 complex. The commission could theoretically investigate the matter, so this alone merits some reporting. And they asked some questions not asked elsewhere, let alone German newspapers.
