'Why Did The Mainstream Press Ignore The Fort Dix Terrorist Plot?'
By Dave Gibson (05/30/07)
While the story of the six Jihadists who plotted to kill soldiers at Fort Dix seemed newsworthy and demonstrated the threat that Muslims pose to this country, it was barely mentioned by the three major networks and has now been totally dropped. Apparently, the facts of this case are in direct conflict with the agenda of the mainstream American press.
The day after federal officials announced the arrest of Muslim terrorists attempting to bring about an attack on a U.S. Army base located in New Jersey, the only coverage of the case could be found on Fox News and a few websites. The next day CNN.com featured a story about the so-called 'pillow angel'. By day two, the story could not be found at all on the website, while CNN provided almost no television coverage of the plot.
USAToday.com had the story near the bottom of the page after only two days. By that time, I could not find one mention of the Muslim terrorists on CBSNews.com. However, there was plenty about the latest antics of Lindsay Lohan. While ABCNews.com devoted their lead story to global warming, there was not one line about the New Jersey Jihadists.
Talk show host Michael Savage has talked about the Muslim plot extensively on his radio show and has carried several articles about it on his website. WorldNetDaily also heavily covered the matter, with columnist Joseph Farah immediately devoting his column to it.
Here are a few of the reasons the liberal mainstream media has chosen not to cover the story:
-three of the terrorists were illegal aliens
-the three illegals reportedly crossed into this country from Mexico
-two were working here legally
-all were Muslim
-they are not affiliated with any international terrorist group such as al Queda, which helps to cast suspicion on all Muslims
-four of the terrorists were ethnic Albanians (Bill Clinton brought 14,000 of them to Fort Dix during the Kosovo War)
-the three illegal aliens had amassed 19 traffic tickets but their immigration status was never questioned by police because they operated in 'sanctuary cities'
Another reason the left-wing news media has chosen to ignore the story is the fact that all of these Muslim terrorists lived in this country for many years. Three of them were in this country for over 20 years. Their neighbors never suspected them of carrying-out such an attack. If this was examined, it would cause all of us to take a look at the Muslims living and working in our own communities...Of course, liberals would rather have us killed than to question the intentions of a Muslim!
During World War II, newspapers were constantly reporting on the activities of suspected spies and various enemy agents. Reporters dug for news and helped expose the American Bund for the Nazi supporters they were. 60 years ago, the patriotism of the American press could have never been brought into question. However, today's reporters seem to be in league with the enemy and cheering on our defeat!
While the liberals love to scream about evolution, the news man seems to be de-evolving. We have gone from the towering Edward R. Murrow reporting from the streets of London during the blitz, to the little Wolf Blitzer reporting from the climate-controlled studios of CNN while giving away U.S. troop movements.
Thankfully, CNN was not in operation when this country was fighting the Nazis and Imperial Japan...Things may have ended differently.
