Favorite Media coverup and why?

I don't really know of any, and I'm trying to learn something about one or tow maybe.

Any good ones?

Thanks.

I agree.

Walter "There is no famine in Ukraine" Duranty. He managed to hide a crime arguably as great as the Holocaust from the world.

Uh, maybe some of the Potemkin Village incidents carried out by the USSR, PRC, North Vietnam and the DPRK...

I love how the media helped cover up the slaughter at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, TX. I saw video of a tank breaking holes in the walls and firing a flame thrower into the building. I guess you really don't want to piss off the BATF and FBI. They'll incinerate you, your wife and your kids and the media will help them cover it up.

hmm, after reading the title of the thread, I was simply going to say 'Waco'.

Wag the Dog.-That movie...

I don't know if this really qualifies as media or not, but who really killed JFK?

Waco or the Ruby Ridge/Randy Weaver incident.

Everyone knows it was Bob Dole.

Mind-control drugs in the water supply.

Another noteworthy mention: the Hue Massacre in 1968, which was completely ignored by the media.

The greatest media coverup.. that would be that time they busted G W Bush getting 'turkey slapped' by John Howard and Tony Blair simulatneously, while Johnny Depp painted his backside in hot wax with his own scrotum. This, of course, was on top of the glass pyramid at the louvre, on new years eve 1995. The media cover up was so comprehensive that only I know what really happened in Paris on that fateful night. Well, now only me and the internet..

I loved how the media completely failed to report the complete destruction of Nebraska and to this day, continues to hide the fact that Nebraska ceased to exist ten years ago after the Great Space Coaster crashed and vaporized it. *nod*

I know it wasnt exactly a cover up as it did receive some coverage but I'm surprised Bush suspending Habeus Corpus didnt get more media attention.

Yes, that would rank a close second for me. *nods*
Taco? *offers taco*

The Great Space Coaster crashed? *mourns*

RIP weird children's show of the eighties.

All real evidence shows it was Oswald.

If you believe otherwise, then you are Oliver Stone's bitch.

Media coverups? Oh, thats a Chinese specialty. :)

The Tiler at my Elks lodge claims to know the "real" killers, but won't say who he thinks they are.

the media that made G.W. Bush "win" the 2004 election. They were stolen (ya rly). It's interesting how easily people believe something.

First off, I am nobodies bitch just because I choose to think differently then you. :p

Secondly, how do you know what the "real evidence" is? If Oswald was involved, I do not believe that he acted alone or without some form of backing. To me the "real evidence" has yet to surface.

I know it wasnt exactly a cover up as it did receive some coverage but I'm surprised Bush suspending Habeus Corpus didnt get more media attention.The conspiracy to destroy public transportation in order to make Americans drive more was news to me. Then again, I wasn't alive when it happened. ;)
