Guest guest Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yes, it seems that the Courier Mail wouldn't report on this case until they were absolutely forced to. It isn't news unless it happens 60 times or more, apparently.This is how the media restricts our access to information. And what I want to know is - who gave them the right to withhold this information? Just like Copeland publishing refusing to print our ads sight unseen, the media is there to report the news, not determine what we are allowed to hear.All the best,MerylOn 25/04/2010, at 8:18 AM, Sheri Nakken wrote: http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/toddler-ashley-jade-epapara-2-dies-after-flu-vaccination/story-e6freon6-1225857803417 Toddler Jade Epapara, 2, dies after flu vaccination This is the toddler you were asking about just over a week ago Meryl.
