sibel edmonds- why is she not getting mainstream media coverage?
Edited on Wed Aug-04-04 02:08 AM by professor_pot
i've read her letter to kean and the 911 commission. nothing she says is dumb or fabricated. so why does a news search on her in google return results ONLY from alt news sites? (at least on the first page). that letter should have been covered by mainstream media like their life depended on it.
are things so bad in america now?

1. You know..
People talk about a conspiracy between the government and the media, but I think most of the time it's just out of frustration, I don't know how literal people are being when they say it....but then along comes a situation like this, and even the most naive person in the room has to ask themselves, why isn't this story getting any coverage in the mainstream media? It's truly, truly bizarre.

2. Yes, things are that bad.
I read the letter also, and imo, she's the link to the LIHOP and MIHOP evidence. I'm very surprised she hasn't been killed yet.
Don't be surprised if she has an "accident" after Nov. 3rd.

3. I've sent e-mails
..to CNN and MSNBC asking WHY they aren't covering her story (just to throw it in their faces)...not that they will be responsible and cover it. Disheartening, isn't it.

5. yeah it is... and mark my words...
... some time in the future when the cowards in the media feel its safe to do so, they'll raise this issue. but by then you'll probably suffer another horrible terror attack.
and yes, i fear for her life too. she doesn't seem to be the kind of lady who will back down easily.

7. with today's media Watergate would never have happened
.. sending Sibel's letter and other important news to corporate journalists just to remind them we are paying attention to what they are not reporting.

8. It's up to us, like the 9/11 widows, to make her an issue. We must do this
for the sake of our country and our children. Keep up the pressure. Send faxes, e-mails, letters, make calls to Congress and the media. If we don't do it, no one will. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

9. she looks very photogenic - you'd think...
You'd think at least one mainstream news source would want a pretty face on TV?
