Peaceful Tomorrows: 9/11 Families Applaud President Obama’s Support of Religious Freedom.

The media’s covering one widow and her right-wing organization as if they speak for all ‘9/11 widows’; the bulk of 9/11 families support the community center.

yeah, I don’t get all the anger being thrown at the Prez. All he did was point out what is written in the Constitution.

Just another stupid “manufactured controversy” from the right wingers and GOP, fueled by the scumbags at FOX News, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.

This political playbook of theirs is getting really, really old.

I was curious if this woman represented all 9/11 families; after a few minutes of Googling, I find she does not represent any significant number of 9/11 survivors/families.  Two organizations for 9/11 ‘widows’ and families I’ve found so far, and both are wide open to the community center construction.

So where’s the media on this?  Everyone should be calling ‘foul’ on this one.

I’ve never wanted to believe in hidden influence of media, but the Gulf coverup and this ‘Mosque’ business almost have me believing in an “illuminati.”

I have gradually become completely distrustful of all broadcast media including PBS and NPR.  There isn’t any ‘news organization’ in existence today whose stories I would accept as accurate without further in-depth investigation on my part.
