the media could have kept this story in front of ppl 10 if not 20 years ago.
but they didn't.

it wasnt a MAJOR news story until they decided it was.

yes, i remember reading about this before.
but it wasnt this big.

this story is now on Jerry Sandusky levels. (not that it shouldn't be).
and the fact is, it COULD have been on this level EARLIER than now.

the media is not reporting anything now that they couldn't have reported earlier.
well, they did report on it.

but it certaintly wasn't getting the TOP STORY/ BREAKING NEWS treatment
10 or 20 years ago.


for many ppl, bill cosby didn't become a rapist until the media
reported that he was a rapist as a top story.
they clearly COULD have done that earlier, and chose not to.

and we should be afraid that the media has that much sway over public opinion.
because clearly, they ain't trust worthy gatekeepers.
(either they were pushing lies of omission then, or they are pushing lies of commission now.)
