Where's the rest of the media?

Joseph Farah is founder, editor and CEO of WND and a nationally
syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate. He is the author or
co-author of 13 books, including his latest, "The Tea Party Manifesto,"
and his classic, "Taking America Back," now in its third edition and
14th printing. Farah is the former editor of the legendary Sacramento
Union and other major-market dailies.
Last week, WND reported the breathtaking story, based on impeccable
Iranian sources, that Barack Obama sent an emissary to Qatar to meet
with a representative of the ayatollah to offer a secret deal one that
would help Obama win his re-election bid.
It was a shocker even by Obama standards.
The White House was offering Iran a deal to reduce international
sanctions against the rogue, terrorist-supporting nation developing
nuclear weapons if it simply agreed to suspend uranium enrichment for
two weeks before the U.S. election allowing Obama to announce a phony
diplomatic coup.Â
As the story pointed out, this could well be the October SurpriseÂ
Obama planned to overcome his fading support among the American public.
It was quite a story, indeed. But it was not picked up by a single news
agency in the country therefore leaving open the possibility Obama can
still pull it off.
This week, WND reported the specific location of the Iranian nuclear
bomb factory, complete with satellite photographs and detailed reports
of what is happening in the facility.
To say the least, this kind of reporting is expensive and risky. How did
the rest of the media respond? With another collective yawn.
In other words, the word is not getting out. Despite the precision and
grainy detail offered by WNDs reports, the rest of the media simply
ignored these startling revelations, as if they never happened.
Why would the media collectively ignore this news?
Could it be because they don't want it to be true?
Could it be because they are in the tank for Obama and neither of these stories represents good news for his campaign?
Could it be that important national security stories are taking a
backseat to the fluff and celebrity gossip spewed out by the media on an
hourly basis?
Could it be we don't have a free press in America any longer only a state-sponsored, controlled media?
Could it be that even the so-called alternative press in America which
doesn't do this kind of investigative reporting itself is guarding its
own franchises and businesses by failing to acknowledge the one
independent, alternative news agency, the original, I might add, that is
kicking butt and taking no prisoners in its efforts to seek out and
sort out the truth?
Might it be a combination of all of the above that causes stories of
consequence from getting deep-sixed even by the biggest of America's
talk-show hosts in favor of the same old stories about presidential
polls and the dissemination of conventional wisdom we have heard ad
nauseam for decades?
You be the judge.
I invite you to review the two aforementioned stories.
I invite you to find any holes in them.
I invite you to imagine any other news agency pursuing these expensive
and risky stories with major national security consequences themselves.
It's just not happening.
And they don't like to acknowledge that smaller, fast-moving, more
enterprising news agencies like WND are doing the dirty work that they
refuse to do.
Do I sound angry and resentful about this?
You bet I do.
As someone who worked inside the so-called mainstream press for 25
years before founding WND, I know that stories like this are only as
powerful as the audiences they reach and the national dialogue they
stimulate. When I see the press deep-sixing this kind of story, I don't
just take it personally, I worry about the future of our free society.
So here I am offering you the opportunity to review two important
stories the media blacked out over the last week. I urge you to deliver
them to everyone you know and care about to help spread the word.
October Surprise: Obama Secret Iran Deal CutÂ
Irans Secret Nuclear Bomb Factory Revealed
I don't want you to be caught off-guard by the fallout these
underplayed, under-covered, under-discussed blockbuster stories could
cause the U.S. and the world in the coming weeks.
This only proves to what lenghts Obama will go to be reelected, and
even more frighting, his close ties with the Muslim world, It lends more
truth to the fact he is Muslim and not a Christian as he claims.
