Chilean Mine Rescuers - No News

As I see it, the real heroes in this story were those who arranged and carried out rescue operations.

Here is a quiz:
Number of miners rescued?
Name of the mine?
Name of the rescue drilling company?
Name of the President of the drilling company?
Name of the first brave paramedic to go into the rescue shaft?
Names of the four additional rescuers who went underground?
Names of the countries that provided rescue personnel and equipment?

If you’re like me, you know that thirty-three miners were rescued, and after that all of the questions draw blanks.

No answers on CNN. Not on CNBC, MSN, CBC or CTV. Surprised? Not a word of rescue credit where credit was more than well earned.

But here’s the clincher....Even our media adversaries stayed clear of acknowledging the rescuers. Al Jazeera and Russian TV channels were silent on this subject.

I salute the rescuing personnel. I salute generous individuals and nations that came to bat without hesitation.

Yes, I am thankful for the lives of the thirty-three miners, and I’m certain that they have profusely acknowledged and thanked their international rescuers.

Is ALL world news censored in the same scheming news room?
