World bigwigs' meeting unreported

Still no coverage of the Bilderberg Group meeting in Chantilly, Va. If 140 professional athletes or 140 movie stars or 140 circus clowns met for three days anywhere in this country, it would certainly be covered by a newspaper somewhere. But when 140 international movers and shakers, including a top official from our government, meet in secrecy for three days, not a peep out of any newspapers or television is heard. What do you suppose they are discussing? Why do you suppose it is a secret? And why is the secretary of state, along with the chairman of the Federal Reserve, in attendance? Should it be said that freedom of the press is a thing of the past? If you won't report on this story, how many other important stories won't you cover? Are you a newspaper or a propaganda tool?
