from new reports it has strong evidence suggesting we did.
why didnt our news media pick up on this, and inform our country?

Glad you're at least asking the question rather than blindly believing everything you see and read.
No. We didn't. Not only do I know this from sonar technician friends, who were "listening" at the time and "heard" the explosion (they don't really hear - it's based upon visual interpretations of vibrations/sound waves). But good ol' common sense applies.
First, if there was truly "strong evidence" we had done so, why didn't Russia retaliate? Or at the very least, expect compensation for the lost sub and families of the deceased. Even THEY know it's not true.
Second, if we had done so, why would we have offered to help with the rescue? Wouldn't the raising of the Kursk only have shown "evidence" to prove our alleged attack? It would be like a murderer offering to find the murder weapon.
It was a horrible, accidental tragedy - nothing more. No conspiracy here.

Someone has been watching the "Sundance Channel" More hate America crap. Those new reports you refer to are the same bogus reports that have been going on since the incident.
Even the Russians backed off the idea. I think it was a listening post in the Canary Islands that heard the first explosion (a small one). One torpedo in the Kursk. Then a minute or two later, a Monster Explosion as the rest of the torpedoes cooked off.

No, and even the Russians admit that it was their own torpedo that caused the damage. You obviously didn't see the film footage when they went in and recovered the sub's log book, which described what happened.
The news media didn't pick up on it because it didn't happen that way.
So stop with the rumor-mongering.

The "wonderful" "informative" History Channel gives a "very thorough" "report" detailing how it happened, and they gave absolutely NO CREDIBILITY to the thought that America "attacked and sank" the Russian sub "Kursk". It was one of their own torpedos that was built on proven faulty dynamics. And I heard this on the liberals number 1 "educational" channel. You need to do more thorough research. God Bless you.

Yes, this was a very interesting story, but as you stated the media decided not to talk about it altough Russian leaders stated tha "World War III almost started today. I know this may seen weird, but on really big issues like this our media does not report because they are not given any info from the U.S government.

Don't you think if America had sunk a Russian sub, that Russia would be outraged and asking for restitution .

no-the official explanation was that a line that carried hydrogen peroxide in one of the torpedoes corroded and caused a leak which caused the torpedo to explode inside the ship which in turn set off the other torpedoes on board

Because it's a bogus report. Do a search on the "evidence" and I bet you will find it to be fake.
