Probably wouldn’t do any good. They know why they are ignoring this and they would ignore your inquiry too.
A free press is necessary for a free country. Unfortunately we no longer have a free press. We have a liberal press with the same goal as Obama. To destroy the United States as we know it.
It would do some good. It would show them that people are interested, that the word is getting out, and that their credibility is slipping.
They might start to cover it.
I am NOT defending the MSM on this one but it was actually CBS News that broke the story.
The story was broke by Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea online. They persued the story for months before CBS took notice. I am glad that CBS ran the story, and Sharyl Attkisson has done some very good reporting on it. She can be said to have "broke" the story in the MSM, but I had been posting stories about it by Codrea and Vanderboegh on freerepublic for quite a while before she published.
Vanderboegh first posted a story about it on 28 December, 2010. Codrea came in on 3 January, 2011. They posted dozens of stories by the time Sharyl Attkisson "broke" her story on CBS on 23 February, 2011.
By the time CBS "broke" the story, there had been over 150 stories about it posted on the Internet, most of them were available on freerepublic.
