Interesting, where's the Media???

Gone But Not Forgotten
Copy of e-mail I recieved


Remember that kid, Farris Hassan, the 16-year-old from Florida, who went to Iraq a few weeks ago to allegedly find out for himself what conditions were
like for Iraqis and to satisfy a requirement for this journalism class he was taking?

Remember also how his parents were all distraught not knowing where he was?

Remember how the media lionized him for being so brave?

Would it surprise you to learn that NO NETWORK JOURNALIST took the initiative to do a little research?

Further, would it surprise you to learn that his parents KNEW where he was because they helped him get his ticket?

Would it surprise you to learn that his school has no such journalism class?

Would it surprise you to learn that his parents sent a note to school saying he'd be gone during that period?

Would it surprise you to learn his father was arrested for forging 2,000 Iraqi passports and was probably attempting to forge 2,000 more?

Has it ever occurred to you that the student and his family can really be prospective terrorists in sheep's clothing?


Article
 
Interesting story linked to your post. But just as skeptically as the article, I must ask for evidence that the article is true!

While I have a general distrust for mainstream media outlets to provide in-depth coverage of anything, I have to wonder how well the facts have been checked in the linked article. Why where there no direct quotations from the school administration? How can the other points be documented?

Skepticism goes both ways with the media.

My positions are reasonably well known on the forums in that I strongly support the US, our troops, conservative causes and ideas, etc. But it does not mean that I blindly accept all that is said.
