- Jon,
-
- I said, I repeat....the media will not "break" a story or give much
- publicity damaging to the interests of those in power (the new
- administration and the major corporations).... and often build up
- positive pictures so these same people can benefit....
-
- I have given you people (Bentsen, McClarty) and Senator Orrin Hatch
- (BCCI) whose role in the BCCI scandal is not out in the major media
- but was reported.... Testimony in the trial of Mike Tyson and the
- Kennedy kid was reported and discussed in detail.... interesting testimony
- in the trials of Clair George (ex- CIA chief) and Noreiga was kept out
- because it pointed out the administrations shenanigans... Larry King
- had the attorneys of both Kennedy and Tyson on his show, was
- Noreiga's attorney brought out and interviewed....
-
- There are all sorts of examples available.....
-
- The people of this country, like a mother of her son, wants to hear
- only "good stuff" about its leaders and the media obliges....well,
- I don't think that is the role of journalists.....
