| Minuteman Project II: The MSM Boycotts |
| 2005-09-28 |
| (original content) The Minuteman Project was originally planned to begin operations to help secure the Arizona border in October, but when hurricane Katrina hit, 100 Border Patrol agents were taken off duty to be sent to assist (in some way) the effort. So in true form, whatever Minutemen were available have gone to the border earlier than expected, to take their place. The MSM, and even the local Arizona newspapers and broadcast media have apparently refused to provide any coverage of this, or the much larger October event at all, except for small blurbs, mostly condemning the Minutemen, which are put back with "the truss ads". Several negative articles have appeared online, only to be removed within hours. I gather the Minutemen themselves, rather disgusted with MSM coverage last time, no longer issue press releases. So the about 400 Minutemen who will be guarding the border will be doing so this time with no expectation of publicity or glory seeking, but only to help protect our border. The link provided is to the Minuteman Project website, in their "news" section, and mostly lists small events taking place around the country. However, in October, it may be the only source for news and information about efforts to slow the numbers of illegal aliens into the United States. |
