39. The media has never covered 9/11 like a free press should

For example in the recent coverage we see no media effort to point out the contradictions in counterterrorism policy.

1) Why isn't strange pre 9/11 government conduct discussed? Most notably why did the CIA obstruct the al-Hazmi/al-Mihdhar investigation which not only related to the forthcoming 9/11 attack but also the in progress at the time USS Cole investigation?

2) Why did Tenet lie to the Joint Inquiry Congressional panel when asked if he met with Bush in the month before 9/11?

3) Why is there no mention that Bush and Cheney didn't want a 9/11 investigation?

4) Why doesn't the media talk about the weird cooperation of Bush and Cheney who would only meet with the 9/11 Commission together?

5) Why is there no mention of the Bush White House cover up of Saudi links to the hijackers?

6) Why did Bush not replace Tenet or Rice after 9/11?

Instead the media completely ignores all these issues.
