Blayne quotes JJ:
The press is often criticized for what they do not cover. The truth is that they have to be selective, for they can only cover a small amount of potential stories. There are many abuses by authorities but unless it becomes newsworthy like Waco or Ruby Ridge many will be ignored.

For instance there are thousands of missing children every year, but the Elizabeth Smart case caught their attention. However, something as big as Waco or Jim Jones will not be ignored if they catch wind of it.

Blayne repsonds:
JJ,
It is difficult for me to understand, after making a statement like you did above, why you maintain that the ongoing abuses of government would not be able to escape being reported.

JJ:
As I have said, many are not reported, but if we get something approaching the magnitude of Waco then it will catch their attention and be covered.
