Why isn't the mainstream media reporting about the Israeli attack on a Syrian nuke instillation?

Question

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/903968.html

This story has been around for about a week. I personally believe that it is the beginning of a much larger story invovling a military strike on Iran.

Answer 1

The main stream media is not going to pay much attention to any story that does not work to prove their political ideas. If Syria is getting a nuke installation form N Korea then GWB's allegation about an axis of evil is proved and all their opposition of his actions become treason at worst and at best shows them to be fools.

Answer 2

American media don't emphasize stories in which no Americans are involved. They also don't have many foreign news bureaus left. The IDF strike has more to do with Syria's recent military posturing about the Golan Heights then with the question of Iran. Israel is in the enviable position of knowing that there are other nations who are as worried about Iran's military posturing than them. Those nations form the member states of the Arab League. Iran, after all, may contain a lot of Muslims. But, they are Persians, not Arabs. They are also Shia Muslims. The Arab League states contain Sunni Muslims and (in the case of Saudi Arabia) Wahabi Muslims.

Answer 3

Both Israel and Syria really don't want the publicity, plus the media really cannot confirm since both countries are not confirming the news.

Answer 4

Probably unable to independently confirm the information, at least that is what I would like to believe.


Nice name by the way, paul F. foster?

Answer 5

Interesting question. Interesting report.

Answer 6

you don't consider the washington post mainstream media? anyway, you must be aware that there is much important news that is being covered up.

Answer 7

because we are too tired about news from the middle east. besides, the american people are tired of doing israel's dirty work . let them handle it , they are very capable, it will be messy, but it will get done. of course, i must be dreaming, it will never happen! too many prophecy loving , israely bynationals at the pentagon .

Answer 8

Answer 9

Probably because nobody is really sure if it even happened.
