CNN vs, AirAmerica: Mediawhores, liars and Sibel Edmonds vs.Audrey Seiler
I spent about two hours WAITING today for the Sibel Edmonds LIHOP Bomb to drop on CNN.

HOURS!!!


Nothing. It is like the story of this brave American hero Sibel Edmonds is INVISIBLE in the mainstream media.

ANDERSON COOPER'S SHOW IS 100% SHLOCK TONIGHT!

I KNOW he is a mediawhore sellout generally. But this story is an incredible story and deserves all the info we can get from the media.

But what do we get???

Nonstop Audrey Seiler. The coed who apparently faked her abduction.

THIS IS NEWS?

I am ripping mad.


WHO is covering this news today?

I have been trying to get the right people to cover the Jim Hatfield story which corroborates Edmonds.

(see http://www.onlinejournal.com/Special_Reports/Hatfield-R-091901/hatfield-r-091901.html )

But WHO is talking about it???


Randi Rhodes on AIRAMERICA!!!

Kudos to them and a big middle finger to the corporate media and especially CNN.

I will give Aaron Brown one last chance tonight to prove he is not a total media whore.

But this situation has GOT to change and WE have got to bang the drum to make the media listen.

Thank You Randi Rhodes!

1. He's not alone
I have Keith whateverhisnameis on and he is also leading with this non-story. I really get sick of these "human interest" abduction stories that are not important in the grander scheme of things. I think it's important when children get snatched and that should be news, but adults go missing every day and almost always it is because they want to be missing.

3. Keeps everyone distracted
Keeps women scared (except maybe in this case).

The media have sunk so low they are below pond scum. There is no such thing as news anymore on television.

These are the people who celebrated the anniversary of the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan kneecapping while there was a war on!

12. I wrote CNN two days ago about the Audrey Seilers story
pre-empting the Americans killed and dismembered in Iraq that day. Instead they had a camera on a dog looking for her abductor for hours. Even Jon Stewart mentioned the dog on his show that night. I told them I will never watch CNN again and I haven't except Crossfire. When Crossfire goes, I go permanently.
