RS Foundation Mastercard update

Square Mile Wife, who broke the RS Foundation/Mastercard story in late July, updates with a summary and an observation.

Frustration grows as no news outlets in Canada seem interested in this story and the RS Foundation begins scrubbing their webpage. ...

Nobody cares. The media sleeps.

Fast forward to August 28th and SMW is deep in the South, having not seen a computer for days and opens her email to find a note from a friend at the Jawa Report asking her about these Canadian terror arrests. After a few rapid emails and newspaper reads it is clear: the RS Foundation is tied to a number of suspects in the terror cases. Suddenly SMW's site is being visited by multiple news outlets. Funny how that works.

The Flea has also entertained visitors from a number of major Canadian news outlets on this story (and a number of other organizations whose ISPs I might get around to posting). We know the MSM knows about the relationship between Mastercard and an organization whose director blames Israel for 9/11.

Not one of them has published the story.

Are they scared of being sued? Scared of something else? Do they not think there is a problem here? Or do some of them just agree Israel is to blame (I haven't read anything different at the Toronto Star)?
