Mainstream Media Plays the Religion/Race Card When Discussing 9/11 Doubters
Today a handful of articles popped up all over the media about a certain someone who doubts the official story of 9/11.
Were the articles about the 9/11 Families Who Fought To Create 9/11 Commission Declaring It A Failure?
Were the articles about the congressional briefing on the failures of the 9/11 commission?
Were the articles about the zogby poll showing that half of the citizens (approx. 9 million) of New York state beleive our government had prior knowledge and conciously failed to act?
Were the articles about the 8000+ people calling for a new investigation?
No, none of the above. As usual the mainstream media consistantly refuses to cover anything at all about those that doubt the official story of 9/11, including important comments by the family members of the deceased. The MSM only mentions such topics when the person saying it is Muslim, in what seems like an attempt to make Muslim's look crazy, while avoiding the real issue, that the official story of 9/11 does not hold water.
In any event, I compiled a short listing of those covering this specific story. I hope those of you that question 9/11 will contact these news outlets and let them know what you think.
Muslim leader says U.S. behind Sept. 11 (contact)
Muslim leader says U.S. behind Sept. 11 (contact)
Muslim leader says U.S. behind Sept. 11 (contact)
Sheikh still believes US was behind 9/11 (contact)
Muslims think US behind September 11 (contact)
Please be sure to include the following press release in your feedback, perhaps it will make them cover these topics more than just when it fits their stereotypical views:

To the Editor,
After reading your recent article entitled 'Muslim leader says U.S. behind Sept. 11' I felt it necessary to contact you.
I find it very disingenuous that news sources such as yours only post news stories on those that doubt the official story of 9/11 when they fit a certain stereotype, namely foreign Muslims. This pattern is not something new either. Consistently news sources have refused to cover any articles about those that question 9/11 with articles such as your recent story being the rare exception.
A few specific examples:

"September 11th Victim Families Who Fought to Create 9/11 Commission Declare it a Failure on First Anniversary of 9/11 Report". The 'Jersey Girls' who fought tooth and nail to create the 9/11 Commission have declared its 'investigation' a complete failure. Not only did they release this press release, but they also held a press conference on July 22nd at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. Did you cover this news?

On July 22, 2005, Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) and Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) hosted a full-day briefing for Members of Congress on the failures of the 9/11 Commission. Did you cover this news?

A zogby poll conducted in August of 2004 showed that "half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act". That is roughly 9 million U.S. citizens who doubt the official story as of August 2004. Did you cover this news?
It is quite obvious to see that anyone with credibility questioning 9/11 gets absolutely no coverage at all from the press, but yet if a Muslim makes these same statements then they are covered throughout the mainstream media.
Please stop posting only 9/11 related news that fits your preconceived, and semi-racist, stereotypes.
Sincerely,
Awesome letter dazinith, and
Awesome letter dazinith, and a GREAT article... here's my "angry" letter...
Media,
To my knowledge, you have NOT covered the "9/11 Truth Movement" at all. Yet, you're willing to cover every Muslim who says the Bush Administration was behind 9/11. Why is that? Is it because it works to the benefit OF the Bush Administration? By showing only Muslims with that sentiment, gives the people the idea that "Radicals" are trying to spread "propaganda". By ONLY showing Muslims with that sentiment is RACIST. I am a 32 year old, white male. I also share that sentiment. Does that make me a "Radical", or just someone who knows how to read? You're HELPING the Bush Administration spread hatred AGAINST the Muslim people.
By the outpouring of people this past weekend showing support for the "9/11 Truth Movement", it's QUITE CLEAR that even MORE "Non-Muslim" individuals share this sentiment. Some of those individuals include Dr. David Ray Griffin, Ray McGovern, Peter Dale Scott, and my favorite, Morgan Reynolds, a FORMER Bush Official.
This RACIST slant on the "9/11 Truth Movement" is hauntingly familiar. It reminds me of the propaganda Adolph Hitler wrote TWO CHAPTERS about in Mein Kampf. He saw propaganda as a vehicle of political salesmanship in a mass market, and argued that it was a way of conveying a message to the bulk of the German people, not to the intellectuals.
Well, I say this RACIST slant against "intellectuals" like myself, and others in the "9/11 Truth Movement" is FASCISM. In August 2004, a Zogby Poll was taken in New York State. The subject matter pertained to the events of 9/11. One question was, do you think the Government "Consciously Failed" to act to prevent the attacks of 9/11? 49% of New Yorkers said YES.
It is RACIST not to report that news, pure and simple, and I think it's disgusting.
Very Sincerely Yours,
The 9/11 Truth Movement
