If I ever doubted there was some sort of nationwide control over media coverage, those doubts have vanished in light of what I am witnessing in this case.

Playing Devil's Advocate....

Might it be that for once in their dismal lives the MSM is acting responsibly and cooperating with the FBI to allow time for them to catch co-conspirators?

Ok, Ok, silly idea. Howbout this: They haven't figured how they can hang this on Bush yet?

Whatever the reason for spiking this story, whether for "good" motives or "bad", the very fact that this is happening is significant.

What's amazing is that we're seeing this here, but don't see it in many other cases where it would seem at least as well justified.

Whatever the explanation, the very fact that this is taking place has profound implications for those who are concerned about global control of commercial media.

If news can be blacked out for something like this, it can be done for anything.

That's much bigger news than the bombing itself.

I became convinced the media is controlled when I read the Nelson Demille novel Nightfall and the author's note at the end: TWA 800 was downed by a missile, and the media is cooperating with the government to suppress this information. Why? I am not sure. I think it is to reassure the public that air travel is safe; the collapse of civil aviation would be economically disastrous and a big victory for the terrorists.

And that airplane that went down in Queens? What's the true story on that?

Why start now? (said only sorta semi-sarcastically)
