iori_komei, would you say that the Gary Webb story was intentionally killed? (not just unreported to the general public for lack of interest)

On a side note, I don't consider the whole CIA drug smuggling thing to
be as important as alot of other bad things the government does.
Me neither, I just tried to give a good example of mainstream media complicity in a cover-up. Do you have any better examples?

Thanks IK,
Although I was alive during these events, all I remember really is the shots of Oliver North taking oaths and Reagan caught lying. (visual sound bites?) I came to find out about most of these events after the fact, including Webb’s Mercury News reports. (Webb claims that the story (and sources) were on his site for all to verify.)

Maverickhunter, I guess you have to decide for yourself which issue you, as an individual, care the most about. Then choose whichever media devotes the most time to the issues you care about.
Although, since you obviously have the Internet, why are you restricted by these 4 choices? You have access to plenty of alternative news sources. Burn your TV.
