An Open Letter to US Media, And Specifically ABC and AP

[Wokeman]

Dear ABC News and Associated Press,

In the Aug. 6 AP article, "9/ 11 Conspiracy Theorists Thriving" reprinted on abcnews.go.com THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS WITH YOUR COVERAGE.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SEPT_11_CONSPIRACIES?SITE=KTVK& SECTION=
HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT


Below are identified three of those problems.

1) -------------------------------------------
For example, in the 3rd paragraph you state:

Five years after the terrorist attacks, a community that believes widely discredited ideas about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, persists and even thrives.

PROBLEM: the term "widely discredited" is a laughable slap at the 9/11 truth movement given the breaking news of:

-- Wednesday, August 2, 2006 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A member of the 9/11 commission said Wednesday that panel members so distrusted testimony from Pentagon officials that they referred their concerns to the
Pentagon's inspector general. "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting," Roemer told CNN. "We were not sure of the intent, whether it was to deceive the commission or merely
part of the fumbling bureaucracy."

THE 9/11 TRUTH MOVEMENT was raising hell when testimony to the 9/11 Commission by the FAA and DOD conflicted, and the 9/11 truth community demanded answers THEN. Where was the media, who should have been demanding answers THEN?

-- On C-SPAN's "Theories of 9/11", Steven Jones of BYU
Physics Dept. announced that THERMATE traces were
found on WTC debris in analysis of the debris. Two
independantly obtained samples BOTH contained
thermate. As your article states, thermate is a
patented explosive used for controlled demolition.
HAS AP OR ABC OR ANY MEDIA HAD ANY TRACES ANALYZED?
IF NOT, WHY NOT?
IF SO, AND YOU FOUND THERMATE, WHY ISN'T THIS A 6 INCH
HEADLINE, AND NIGHTLY NEWS HEADLINE?

2) -------------------------------------------
In the 6th paragraph you state:

Fetzer, a retired philosophy professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, who maintains, among other claims, that some of the hijackers are still alive.

PROBLEM:
Your statement leaves readers to believe that ONLY Fetzer believes this.

See BBC's article of Sunday, 23 September, 2001, 12:30
GMT 13:30 UK
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1559151.stm

"Hijack 'suspects' alive and well. Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well.

The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1559151.stm

WHY HAVE ABC AND AP NOT LOOKED INTO THIS HUGELY IMPORTANT STORY, AND DONE THEIR DUTY TO INFORM THEIR READERS AND VIEWERS, AND ALSO TO DIG DEEPER INTO WHAT THIS MASSIVE DISCREPANCY IN THE OFFICIAL VERSION OF 9/11 PORTENDS FOR ALL THE REST OF THEIR "THEORY" ??


3) -------------------------------------------
In your article's 9th paragraph you state:

The standards and technology institute, and many mainstream scientists, won't debate conspiracy theorists, saying they don't want to lend them
unwarranted credibility.>>

PROBLEM:
The "official story" that 19 ragtag hijackers who could barely fly Cessnas, flying commercial jet liners with expert precision many experienced pilots say they couldn't accomplish, and fooling the US Air Force, NORAD, and the FAA so that in one and a half hours of flying these hijacked planes over some of the world's most protected airspace . . . with not one, not one .. . Air Force interceptor jet arriving until too late, and completely obliterating the first three steel reinforced skyscrapers in building engineering history with jet fuel (which doesn't approach the temperature
required to melt steel) . . . IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY. IT'S AN OFFICIAL CONSPIRACY THEORY.

By the way, one of those buildings was not hit by a
plane, so when your article says the buildings were
brought down by jet fuel, while ignoring building 7's
fall . . . is shoddy journalism at best, and a cover up at worst.

As the truth continues to unfold, media should and
must be held accountable for the horrid job they've
done reporting on 9/11, but worse for their obvious
attempts to obstruct public knowledge of crucial
facts.

Warm regards, and FOR GODSAKE, DO YOUR HOMEWORK in the
future. You are supposed to be a professional media.
