We have been experiencing more and more chipping away at our rights to know the truths as they affects us. The media, (newspapers, local television stations and network news), report only what they are instructed to report from higher influential sources, which they seemed to be controlled by, sources who appear to have their own alterative agendas. The individual news reporter no longer has any control over what he or she wants to report and their employers fear if it is deemed inappropriate by the people pulling the strings, that funding could be withheld, or even worse they may fear for their jobs. This is speculation on my behalf, but we all know for some reason the press is not openly reporting as they once did, so we are left to believe that someone is exercising control over them. It may be even more so with the topic of ufology, that their fear of reporting will leave them looking more like a cheap tabloid to their listeners, subscribers and their competitive peers and no longer be taken serious as a reputable news source. Regardless of news reporter's own personal beliefs they end up distancing themselves from this topic.

Free and open reporting as the media once was, seems to be fainting into the history books, unless we can take back control of our freedom of the press. We are left in the dark about far to many truths, so we must resort to the Internet for the news and then try to weed out the facts from misinformation, speculation and hoaxes.

Very little of the UFO topic today is being reported on by the mainstream press. When it is, it is then kept to a bare minimum, and much of the time it is even treated as foolishness. When the press does cover these stories, they then treat their sources as unreliable and dubious. The media maintains their distance from taking these stories serious. Instead they report on them as nothing more then fillers for the news, which is news that is reported on the lighter side, something to be chuckled over. The press may view it differently, but the size and the scope of the stories they release speaks for themselves. If the media wants us to believe that they are unbiased in their reporting, then they need to provide their reporters with the freedom to do in-depth and unrestricted investigative reporting and start treating this subject with more open-minds. Nothing can be seriously reported on without an open-mind, and for those to choose to treat any part of the news with close-minds, then this only does an injustice to the news and to the populace that has a right to a full investigative report to all news.

I live in Phoenix, AZ, and I can recall during "The Phoenix Lights" occurrence, the governor, Fife Symington (later Impeached), appeared on the local television news stating that they now knew what happened, then an aid to the governor was escorted out in front of everyone dressed in a gray type alien costume while people laughed nervously. The governor had just treated everyone that was present like nothing more then buffoons for having taken this subject seriously. They not only made fools out of all who turned in the reports of the sighting and the press who covered it, but they also made a mockery out of the whole UFO topic. When people are laughed at in public and made fools of by government officials and prominent people within our society, then this sends a clear message to others not to come forth with their own sightings or they will be publicly humiliated. The news reporters who may have wanted to report on this story more seriously, ended up taking a step back and decided that this was not a good subject to touch, now, or at anytime. I don't blame the individual news reporters, they are just trying to hold onto their creditability without becoming the laughing stock by political officials, which holds a lot of the power that can in turn make or break a reporter.

Since we can no longer receive open-minded reporting from the main-stream press regarding subjects like that of UFOs, we need to turn to the world-wide Internet to be able to access truths. Here we will find a new generation of news reporting from radio talks shows that are not funded by sources that have agendas other then those that are just providing us with truths. These Talk Radio Shows bring us open-minded and unadulterated information, shows like: "Coast to Coast", "The Kevin Smith Show", The Jeff Rense Program", "Jerry Pippin", "Dreamland", Think Again Radio, and "The Paracast." We can be sure that there will be no one behind the scenes telling these guys what guest they can interview and what, or what not, they can discuss. We will hear a broad range of opinions and philosophies on a variety of subjects, a lot is speculation, but a lot is based on hard investigative work. Nobody will agree with all that is discussed, but we are provided the opportunity to listen to unedited reporting in its uncontaminated freedom of speech form and to draw our own opinions and conclusions.

Please tune into one or more of these radio station links I have provided you for some of the most fulfilling and exciting radio listening on the planet. These stations have regular guests, many who are superstars within the field of Ufology, like: Jim Marrs, Stanton Friedman, Linda Moulton Howe, Charles Hall, Brian Vike, Budd Hopkins, George Filer, and many, many more. Don't miss another evening of some of the most exciting listening you will ever hear!
