Charlie Sheen Blasts Cowardly Corporate Media Refusal to Debate Him Live on Questions Surrounding 9/11
Tue, 15 Sep 2009, 18:18:49 EST Edited by Carly Zander    
AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 15 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Today on the Alex Jones Show, Charlie Sheen blasted the cowardly corporate media response to his "20 Minutes With The President" letter, slamming the press as "hopeless lap-dogs" for failing to address a single one of his 20 bullet points on 9/11 while ignoring completely his challenge to publicly debate 9/11 truth debunkers.Sheen's open letter to the President, which took the form of a fictionalized account of a meeting between the two in which Sheen grills Obama about the unanswered questions surrounding 9/11, received widespread media coverage and was featured in thousands of newspaper stories, online articles and TV segments. Awareness of the subject only increased after the subsequent release of a YouTube video in which Sheen personally appeals to the President to answer the questions. However, not one single mainstream media report adequately covered even one of Sheen's 20 bullet points that were listed in the article and backed up by a substantial online bibliography. Indeed, scores of corporate media hit pieces completely fabricated the content of Sheen's letter, attributing phrases to him that he had never made in an attempt to portray Sheen as abrasive and "insulting" to 9/11 victims and their families, despite the fact that the majority of family members share Sheen's questions. Fox News was one of many corporate media outlets to claim that Sheen had stated "that Bush/Cheney planned it all," when in reality he had said no such thing. The media merely manufactured this spin so that they could politicize the issue, make it partisan, and then attack Sheen as just another deluded Hollywood liberal. Claims that Sheen directly accused President Bush of planning 9/11 were erroneously carried by hundreds of media outlets despite the fact that the actor never made any such statement. The fact that the press had to invent a straw man stance and put words in Sheen's mouth to then attack him only proves how scared the media is of the power of the actual questions that Sheen asked in his letter. In a statement released to PrisonPlanet.com, Sheen chastised the media response as nothing more than a "mendacious side-show" performed by journalists he describes as "hopeless lap dogs." Sheen slams the press for following "a desperate, juvenile and transparent script" in response to his letter after they collectively "attacked the man and ignored the facts." "We can no longer allow these cowards and shills to contaminate the reservoirs of truth. In addition to their slanderous folly, they have ignored my very public challenge to a debate on Larry King Live. If these cockroaches had but one shred of courage, they would embrace this opportunity," states Sheen. Sheen also released to PrisonPlanet.com the e mails that he sent to the White House following the publication of his letter to Obama. After his request to meet with Obama was rejected by Obama's staff, Sheen made another request to meet with Obama, this time accompanied by 9/11 family member Bob Mcllvaine who lost his son on September 11. Sheen has yet to hear back from Obama's staff regarding his follow-up request. In a telling illustration that Obama has failed to even acknowledge Sheen's "20 Minutes" piece not just because he is "busy," the President did manage to find time to comment on the mindless antics of rapper Kanye West on MTV, according to an ABC News reporter. It seems that Obama is more concerned about a hip-hop star's behavior at a music awards show than he is with serious questions about 9/11 that are shared by the majority of 9/11 victims' family members. Charlie Sheen's full statement and his e-mails to the White House are reprinted below. * * * Another Bin Laden tape has surfaced this morning. I will be monitoring the FBI's most wanted web site to see if this tape finally provides the Bureau with the evidence required to list "9/11" in Bin Laden's rap sheet. Thus far it has not. I must point out as well, that the mainstream media has once again followed a desperate, juvenile and transparent script in their response to my letter, "Twenty Minutes with the President". Not a single member of this mendacious side-show has focused their attention, for one second, on the 20 bullet points chronicled in my letter. Instead, they have attacked the man and ignored the facts. If this is their definition of, "responsible journalism", I urge all free thinking people to ignore these hopeless lap-dogs and responsibly do their own research. We can no longer allow these cowards and shills to contaminate the reservoirs of truth. In addition to their slanderous folly, they have ignored my very public challenge to a debate on Larry King Live. If these cockroaches had but one shred of courage, they would embrace this opportunity. As of 1 o'clock PM, PST, on Sep. 14th, I still await a formal response from The White House. The emails I authored are printed below. I thank you all for your patriotic support. Respectfully - Charlie Sheen. * * * Dear Mr. Gibbs - I understand you are quite busy so I won't take up too much of your time. I have recently published a letter (article) online entitled, "Twenty Minutes with the President". It is currently garnering worldwide attention. It is a fictional account of myself and President Obama in an interview setting, discussing the events of Sep. 11th. If you haven't read it yet, I would urge you to do so. My request is pretty straightforward: I would like to invite our Commander in Chief to join me in a real discussion/interview focusing specifically on Sep. 11th and its aftermath. If you would provide the President with a copy of my letter, he will have all of my questions and data ahead of time, therefore no surprises. I understand he is extremely busy and I can only imagine how many requests you receive each day. If nothing else, it might be a welcome break from the stress of health care reform and the issues surrounding the economy. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, the location of your choice. America deserves this Mr. Gibbs. I await your response. My very Best - Charlie Sheen. * * * Dear Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Burton - I'm deeply saddened to hear that my request to interview President Obama regarding 9/11 and present him with the facts has been declined. However, I am now making another request. This request is on behalf of a large section of 9/11 victim's family members, more specifically Mr. Bob Mcllvaine, who tragically lost his son Bobby on that awful day. Mr. Mcllvaine represents and echoes a growing number of outspoken victim's family members who still have numerous unanswered questions regarding 9/11. Mr. Mcllvaine and I would like to sit down with the President and focus solely on the 20 bullet points outlined in my document. Again gentlemen, these facts are not my opinions or theories, these glaring inconsistencies are supported and confirmed by 6 of the 10 commission members responsible for shaping and creating the "Official Report". If this secondary request cannot be enacted, I would ask, at the very least, for an explanation in writing from the President himself, detailing the reason(s) for his decision. Thank you for your time. My very best - Charlie Sheen. * * * For media requests on this subject: sheen@infowars.com. The Alex Jones Show broadcasts live from Austin, TX from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Central.
