why is our media is inept - Michael Cohen's forward for example

I wanted to find Michael Cohen's forward as he released it last week. I had to click through a dozen websites of the MSM and i found little soundbites but not the whole thing. I eventually found it on a site i would not recommend to anyone. Why doesn't our MSM work on getting simple messages out to the world. That's what get people's attention.

Are you in stealth mode? Another country? Behind a business firewall?

Just an aside, do you use Google for your search?

I use DuckDuckGo and his website was the first on the list. DDG does not have paid for or sponsored listings like Google. It also tries to put the most relevant link on top. In my DDG search there were 3 recent videos at the top on the subject and the first Text link was the link to Cohen's Disloyal website and the Forward.

Just an fyi...I know you already found it.

Copy a whole foreword and you're probably breaking copyright rules. Fair use means limiting the amount you copy - that's why DU has the 4 paragraph rule.

He tweeted it out and several news outlets reported/linked to it. Google "Michael Cohen" and "foreword" and several sites linking to it come up.

One problem may be the way you're spelling it. It's "Foreword," not "Forward." One easy way to remember is that it's essentially an introduction that comes beFORE the first WORD of the book.
