In reply to the discussion: Did YOU hear RFK, Jr. mentioned in the Public Eye over the last 18 months? [View all]johnnyreb
(915 posts)25. Big Media and debunkers
Nobody I know heard about RFK Jr's remarks with Charlie Rose. And I didn't learn of it from a debunker.
His mention of such thoughts at a recent historic event could have at least sold more commercials for Big Media. Perhaps they don't need more revenue. But surely there are those who would aggressively promote such wacky statements, such as was done with the Dean Scream, or with Ross Perot's "You People".
Nobody I know ever heard of the 12-year old case of 10,000 9/11 families' claiming that the Saudi elite managed and funded at least some of the hijackers;
Recent family statements:
"It all ties together about financing power, leading back to the Saudis,"
"It is all one big cover-up."
a "coverup beyond belief."
I dont believe people should get away with murder and that is exactly what happened, said Strada, the national co-chair of 9/11 Families United for Justice Against Terrorism. Al Qaeda is pure evil and so are their bankrollers.
"The US Government unfortunately chose not to stand by the families and survivors of 9/11. All we can say is that we were very, very disappointed"
"It all ties together about financing power, leading back to the Saudis,"
"It is all one big cover-up."
a "coverup beyond belief."

And nobody I know ever heard about it from a dedicated debunker.
Nobody I know ever heard that Democratic Senators have been supporting the families' case;
Now, in sworn statements that seem likely to reignite the debate, two former senators who were privy to top secret information on the Saudis activities say they believe that the Saudi government might have played a direct role in the terrorist attacks.

And nobody I know ever heard about these Democratic Senators' heroic efforts from a debunker.
Nobody I know ever heard about the US Supreme Court ruling last month finally "green-lighting" the case;
And nobody I know ever heard it from a debunker.
Very few that I know ever heard that Democratic Congressmen and Senators have been trying to declassify the 28 pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry that B*sh redacted;

Big Media does not keep Americans informed. Debunkers don't have the credibility to.
