The Media Ignores Damning Evidence

arafat_y01.jpe
Yasir Arafat personally approved the murder of two U.S. diplomats, but who in the U.S. media paid any attention?

Now that definitive evidence has emerged from the bowels of the U.S. State Department attesting to the fact that

The Khartoum operation [in which U.S. diplomats George Curtis Moore and Cleo Noel were kidnapped and murdered] was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval of Yasir Arafat, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, (PLO), and the head of Fatah

the U.S. media reacted with virtual indifference. As Caroline Glick notes in the Jerusalem Post:

First, how is it possible that the belated admission of a massive 33 year cover-up of the murder of senior American diplomats spanning the course of seven consecutive presidential administrations has been ignored by the US media? A Google news search for Cleo Noel brought up but a handful of stories - none of which were reported by the major news networks or national newspapers. . . .

The media's silence on the issue does not merely raise red flags abut their objectivity. By not availing the American public to the knowledge that Fatah and the PLO have been specifically targeting Americans for 33 years, the media has denied the American people basic knowledge of the world in which they live.

The news media is only interested in stories with "entertainment" value. The implications of this story are very important, but it is about someone who is dead. They cannot really create a scandal that they can weave into a drama.
