9/11 and the Media

[spooked911]

A commenter on the Rigorous Intuition blog left this comment and I think this is an important point:

"the orchestrators of 9/11 are happy to see a "9/11 Truth Movement" materialize because it frames any inquiry into the crimes as "conspiracy," effectively ghettoizing legitimate inquiry. I wish that wasn't the case, but in the mediasphere it's a truism. Once the wall of "conspiracy" goes up it becomes monolithic, and people on both sides disappear from each others' view, the conspiracists degenerating into nit-picking squabbles over scraps of evidence and the programmed mass of consumers returning to their regularly scheduled programs."

I think this is quite true and I think one thing 9/11 researchers need to do is to get on better terms with the media because right now they are shutting each other off when they could really help each other considerably.

Granted the mainstream media coverage of 9/11 has been atrocious and propaganda-laden and this has turned away people like me. Thus I have a hard time trusting the mainstream media at all now. But to truly obtain any sort of traction on 9/11, we need the media on our side. I really don't know what to do about this. How can we win the media onto our side? Is this possible at all? Heck-- it seems we have a hard time even reaching liberal bloggers who hate the Bush administration. Any suggestions for how to change this?

1. MM is too compromised...

I attend this local TV talk show about Veterans issues and some comments are very anti-bushco..

maybe local yokels media can be of help but the rest are pure propaganda..in my opinion..

2. Yes, CNN, MSNBC, WashPost, NYTimes etc are definitely in the tank

but I think that is a good idea to work on the smaller local media outlets. Often times they have the guts to challenge the conventional wisdom.
