Why Does The Mainstream Media Ignore The Bilderberg Group?

Over the next several days, more than a hundred of the most powerful people on the planet will attend a secret conference at a hotel in Chantilly, Virgina.  Some of the biggest names in politics and business will be there.

The hotel is going to be completely locked down and will be swarmed by hordes of security guards carrying machine guns.  This conference is so important that even the U.S. Secret Service is rumored to be involved in providing security.  These meetings have been held yearly since 1954, but no record of what goes on at them has ever been officially released to the public and all the attendees are sworn to secrecy.  Decisions made at this conference will affect the lives of every man, woman and child on the planet.  But the vast majority of Americans will have no idea that the Bilderberg Group is meeting about 20 miles from Washington D.C. this year because the mainstream media in the United States ignores the Bilderberg Group almost entirely year after year.  Based on the coverage it gets from the U.S. media, you would think that the Bilderberg Group was a non-event.  But if some of the most powerful people on the planet are getting together to discuss our future, don’t you think the mainstream media should be covering it?
The Bilderberg Group is much more than just a social club.  It has played a major role in shaping the direction of the world since it was created in 1954.  The Bilderberg Group helped create the European Union and it helped create the euro.  This year efforts to save the euro are rumored to be high on the agenda.
And considering the big names that show up at this conference on a yearly basis you would think that the U.S. media would be extremely interested in it.  The following is just a sampling of the big names that have attended Bilderberg in recent years….
Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Prince Charles, David Cameron, Tony Blair, Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates, Angela Merkel, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Rick Perry, David Rockefeller, Herman van Rompuy, Jean-Claude Trichet, Jeff Bezos, Chris R. Hughes, Eric Schmidt, Craig J. Mundie, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Richard Perle, Paul Volcker, Lawrence Summers, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden
Isn’t that enough star power to get the attention of the mainstream media?
A complete list of the “official attendees” of the Bilderberg Group from last year can be found right here.
You would think that this would be big news.
But apparently there is so much else going on in the world that there isn’t any room to cover the Bilderberg Group.
For example, right now on USA Today you can find the following headlines on the front page….
-Trilogies spring up on reading lists
-Spelling still matters in era of texting, spell check
-Many chain stores now add a toy aisle for adults
Perhaps other news sources are discussing more important news.
Then again, perhaps not.
On the front page of CNN, you can currently find the following headlines….
-Airline seat squeeze: It’s not just you
-Group: Prove Romney’s not a unicorn
-Scientists confirm ‘old person smell’
No wonder CNN is experiencing record low television ratings.
The mainstream media may be ignoring Bilderberg, but based on the level of security around the hotel you would be tempted to think that it was the most important event in the United States this year.
