Two major stories out today and all the M$M talk about is *the Miami 7*.
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 09:42 PM by seafan
This just makes me ill.

There is zero M$M coverage today of two Friday news blockbusters, namely the secret surveillance of private citizens' banking information without their knowledge or consent, and on an international scale..

AND

...the emergence of a detailed report by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee that Jack Abramoff laundered money through Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Relief in order to steer the money secretly to Ralph Reed. And both Norquist and Reed took a hefty cut of the money as they fleeced more than a million dollars from the Mississippi Choctaw Indians.


According to a Senate report, Grover Norquist's group acted as a conduit for Jack Abramoff.




So, what smoke and mirrors do the M$M bedazzle us with today?


Nonstop coverage of some homeless men holed up in a warehouse in Liberty City, Florida, perhaps the poorest, most underprivileged, crime ridden area in all of Florida. They are accused of plotting attacks on the Sears Tower in Chicago, and perhaps many other buildings as well.

Astute minds are finding a very weak indictment of seven black men too poor to buy clothing or bus tickets, much less hatch an elaborate plan to destroy a building in Chicago.

No actual al Qaeda members were involved, mind you, and with the precise timing of this story to coincide with Cheney giving a speech in Chicago today and with Hillary Clinton wanting Larry King to ask FBI Director Robert Mueller why he thinks NY should have its funds to fight terrorism slashed, this whole Miami 7 "a-thon" today just reeks.


M$M are a total failure.


With every passing day, they demonstrate their deliberate complicity in the * assault on America.

5. Yes he (Huxley) was...
And unlike the USSR, which had the one news agency PRAVDA, we've got four of them.

7. Pure Bullshit
I couldn't believe the speed in which they attributed these guys to al Quaeda. Please. This is a joke. CNN practically wet their pants and I turned that noise off and took my 4 year old daughter for ice cream. Sorry friends, just had to take a break from all the lies and experience a little truth and innocence.

9. You guys didn't watch Olbermann again, did you?
He devoted about a quarter of the show tonight to the bank spy story.

I expect he will pick up on the other story as well.

Honestly, nobody has a right to say what the MSM are "ignoring completely" unless they watch Countdown. Nine times out of 10, they will have covered the story you say "nobody" is covering.
