Now here is something truly newsworthy: On 26 November, over two weeks ago, it was announced that at long last the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York has agreed to convene a special grand jury to consider important 9/11 evidence – evidence which has been dismissed, ignored and denied for years.

But since the press release was issued by the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry and distributed by the not insignificant PR Newswire, only a handful of minor news outlets have picked up this story. Not even the New York Times thinks this announcement is worth mentioning. Nothing in the Australian media either. Zilch. Rien. Nada. Nichts. The obvious question is: why not? After all, the events of 9/11 served as a justification for a long series of war crimes committed by the US, aided and abetted by many countries, including Australia. So would not a truly free and independent media be keen to report on this latest development that could mark the beginning of the exposure of the potentially biggest and most brazen cover-up there ever was? What a headline story that would be! Maybe our media are afraid to be accused of spreading fake news or following a conspiracy theory, or they are worried about looking foolish for swallowing the official cock and bull story. But I think it’s more likely that a lot of people must be very keen to let sleeping dogs lie for as long as possible, and sadly the mainstream media seem either complicit or simply lack courage.

A very general Google search (from 11 Dec) says it all:

Compare and contrast with an equivalent search on an in my view ultimately pointless story:
