CBS/Infinity Radio blacks out anti-terror conference 'Too many people might be emotionally affected by the subject matter'
CBS/Infinity Radio has refused to air paid commercial announcements for an upcoming non-partisan symposium on terrorism, claiming "people might be too emotionally affected" by it.
The Peopleââ¬â¢s Truth Forum, which is sponsoring the symposium titled The Radical-Islamist Threat to World Peace and National Security to be held in Connecticut on Sept. 21, was rebuffed by CBS/Infinity Radio when the PTFââ¬â¢s president, Jeffrey Epstein, tried to purchase commercial time to publicize the event.
The official statement from CBS/Infinity Radio said, "Too many people might be emotionally affected by the subject matter. ââ¬Â¦ It's too controversial to be aired at this time."
CBS/Infinity Radio's decision comes on the heels of the recent terrorist bombings in London which claimed over 50 lives.
"The commercial segments were to commence on July 18. They were considered critical to the success of our symposium, which has received quite a bit of favorable response from the 'First Responder' community," Epstein said. "We have people coming from as far away as Australia to attend the event."
The symposium is scheduled to feature lectures by Dr. Harvey Kushner, noted terrorism expert; Brigitte Gabriel, a former anchor for world news in the Middle East and a prominent Arab-American journalist; Robert Spencer, noted author on the subject of terrorism and publisher of JihadWatch ââ¬â published weekly in Human Events; and Laura Mansfield, author and counterterrorism expert.
After having preliminarily agreed to air eight 60-second commercial segments on WTIC-AM in Hartford Connecticut ââ¬â a CBS/Infinity affiliate station ââ¬â Epstein was contacted by a CBS/Infinity's sales representative with the news of the cancellation. The sales representative stated that the decision had come down from CBS/Infinity's legal division and that the decision was final.
"CBS is blocking a potent message from being disseminated to both our citizenry and the regionââ¬â¢s first responders who would benefit from being in attendance," Epstein said, noting, "A number of congressmen and senators from across the country are supporting our efforts."
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is scheduled to attend and has recently endorsed Epstein's efforts.

If we don't hear the story from both sides then we have the "truth" only from one side.
Good or bad we must hear about it and then we can make our own mind about the situation.
As you know as long as the Zionists are the ones killing Palestinians then the road to "peace" is on but as soon as a Zionist gets killed the whole picture changes.......we could learn more about how the Palestinian are getting killed at the hands of the Zionists. :caiphas:
