Another Example of U.S. Censorship of Mainstream Media:

my sister the conserv. did not hear about this she doen't watch tv much so i told her and she is appauled her husband is from northern ireland and he was shocked now she put it on her facebook Im amazed she did that. This is censorship in most disgusting way it took me 3 days and the internet to find out about it. I hope the hostages are fine and we as Americans do something about the piracy and hostage taking by the Israelies.

It's at the top at Daily Kos:

McKinney has done some great things as a congresswoman, and some pretty kooky things. I think the main stream media has a history of not diving deeply into either Israel or Palestine. I'm not sure I would call it censorship so much as laziness?

Of coarse it's censorship. You think that the mainstream media don't have huge mideast staffs? We are a nation of sheep that think we have an open society. The possibility of this happening was in the media, but when the Israelis actually acted the info dried up. We support our client states and if you think it's to make the world safe for democracy you have bought the lie bigtime.

It means they reported on it days ago and it's no longer news.

Moat of these are dated around a week ago. Google is your friend.

This was a report on THE DIGNITY aship that the Israelis rammed with the passengers on board......this ship was so badly damaged in 2008 it never sailed again I think. The report was the voyage made in late Dec. 2008. The link is the first one above..............and also the last link above.

You are correct in finding that the news was out there.....I think it was buried a bit however.............I posted it on current when the Israelis were only surrounding the boat. .........and no doubt the newspapers all got press releases from Free Gaza Movement.

The end is near.

Most of mainstream media is owned by the American war machine, GE on top of all the other corporations that carry ownership of each other. They profit from war and they sell war machinery to Isreal. Isreal has probably the most effective lobby group in the world and is expert at twisting the arms of our congress and senate reps. You might notice that every time a US senator or congress person actually speaks up about the Isreali abuse of the Palistinian people, they retract their statement or soften it within days. People like McKinney who dare to speak out are marginalized in the media by being ignored or misrepresented. Same with Ralph Nader. If you speak out too loudly for those who are most oppressed, you will be marginalized.
It is quite clearly intentional. The fact that someone of McKinney's stature is kidnapped by the Isreali's and it is not top of the news is horrifying.

This is a piece from the link above:

THE GREAT BENEFACTOR

Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War II. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars.2 Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one

‐fifth of America's foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year.3 This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.4
Israel also gets other special deals from Washington.5 Other aid recipients get their money in quarterly installments, but Israel receives its entire appropriation at the beginning of each fiscal year and thus earns extra interest. Most recipients of American military assistance are required to spend all of it in the United States, but Israel can use roughly twenty

What would the media and US government do if IRAN pirated a humanitarian aid ship and KIDNAPPED a US Congressman/woman and Nobel Laureate?

They'd have a field day on that...but with Israel, the Media is controlled by the Jewish Lobby, so of course, they wont 'get on this'.

Bunch of swine the lobby is

Hahha above is a liar.

There are records of who receives what.

We need an anti-Muslim political party in the US. Islam is a racist, murdering abomination. It has no right to exist.

The Arab Lobby and OPEC oil usurers control the media. What swine they are.
