There is something happening in the news right now that is getting close to zero media coverage, and it is about a human rights violation issue that the Obama Administration has taken a light stance on. They have come out with a press release but it is general and does not quote the president, condemning the imminent death of an Iranian Christian, but there has been no official call for his release from either the president himself or the defence secretary. It seems like the only people trying to save this mans life is the ACLJ (American Center for Law and Justice) but there has been no formal condemnation of Iran from the international community. It may be too late to save this persons life, but even the ACLJ has taken a half ass job of trying to free this person, only concentrating on expanding the media coverage which may turn out in the media eventually reporting of his death.
They have asked people to sign a petition and to pray, but what they should be doing is making an appeal directly to the white house, and petitioning the media centers who control what gets aired and what doesn't.
If the media isn't covering this story the ACLJ with their nation wide radio show should be appealing to their thousands of listeners to mass protest progressive or main line media networks like CNN, MSNBC, and others, not just FOX News who has decided to cover very little of this story. The Internet is not powerful enough to rally enough people to get the reaction they are looking for. They should be pleading to the people to protest and go straight to their representatives and even the white house if they are still looking for media coverage, which they are not doing.
Public awareness is a small start, but there needs to be mass public awareness which the ACLJ is trying but failing to do.
