29. The New Orleans Toxic chemcials into the Gulf
is another example of what newswolf refers to:

Quote "The one exception -- the one circumstance in which there is genuine bias and real censorship -- is of any story that accurately reflects the savage underbelly of capitalism or calls into question any of the capitalist shibboleths. Note for example the methodical suppression of stories about the aftermath of Bhopal, Exxon Valdez or Enron, or the runaway Enron-like corruption in Iraq and New Orleans, both intimately associated with Halliburton and the Republican money machine."

We were told by some federal agency that the sludge wasn't dangerous. The media said, "Okay" and how many questioned this? How many photographs of the Gulf after pumping NO have surfaced? Where did all the toxins go? Why aren't people concerned about this? Who profits from repressing this story? These are the questions we need to be asking. These are the questions the media should have been asking and maybe were, but were forced to repress. Demand Accountability.
