Dear Reporter: Looking for a Story about 9/11?

Dear Reporter: Looking for a Story about 9/11?

If you're looking for a story for the 7th anniversary of 9/11, you can interview one of the following people:

• A 9/11 Commissioner

• A Congress member

• A military leader

• An intelligence professional

• A scientist

• A structural engineer or architect

• A legal scholar

• A victim's family members or heroic first responder

• A psychiatrist or psychologist

• Or one of the thousands of other highly-credible people who question 9/11

But you just want to cover nonsensical stories of McCain and Obama threatening to "get" Osama Bin Laden and fight the "war on terror" more effectively, don't you?

Oh well, that's why your company is losing viewers and readers ... people want real news!

So, all of you dear reporters should carefully study the above information and read the following. Make a decision to act.

30-year Anniversary: Tonkin Gulf Lie Launched Vietnam War
Media Beat (7/27/94)

In the absence of independent journalism, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution — the closest thing there ever was to a declaration of war against North Vietnam — sailed through Congress on Aug. 7. (Two courageous senators, Wayne Morse of Oregon and Ernest Gruening of Alaska, provided the only "no" votes.) The resolution authorized the president "to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression."

The rest is tragic history.

Nearly three decades later, during the Gulf War, columnist Sydney Schanberg warned journalists not to forget "our unquestioning chorus of agreeability when Lyndon Johnson bamboozled us with his fabrication of the Gulf of Tonkin incident."

Schanberg blamed not only the press but also "the apparent amnesia of the wider American public."
And he added: "We Americans are the ultimate innocents. We are forever desperate to believe that this time the government is telling us the truth."
