Research paper Topic

     First, I decided to do my paper on a topic that interested me because researching a writing it would me much more fascinating to me.  First, just from prior history classes I decided I would write my paper on some sort of governmental conspiracy theory. I then looked at this webite and began exploring some of the most well known conspiracies.  http://www.carpenoctem.tv/cons/.  I then began looking into the JFk assassination and found it very interesting.  After reading several different theories several websites such as http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1860871_1860876_1861003,00.html,  and began learning more and more. 

      Then, I became curious if there was any even close to my lifetime that I could research.  I read through the Watergate Scandal with Nixon and then the moon landing, however, soon I found one that was much more intriguing to me.  After reading though several of the stories on this website, http://www.alternet.org/news/147851/top_10_right-wing_conspiracy_theories?page=entire, I found the September 11, 2001 to be the most interesting. 

     After researching more facts on September 11^th, I realized that what the media put on TV was not ALL the facts of this tragic day so I began to realize what exactly I wanted to write my paper on.  As, Americans, we should question our government and keep it in check.  Just trusting them gives it to much power and relying on the media to convey the information only allows some of the real facts to become not only skewed but lost.  I will use facts of September 11, 2001 to prove that the media has a strong hold on the facts that are escaped to the general public. 

My thesis statement: The government of the United States of America should be blamed for the masking of facts that were released through the media to the public regarding the exact details of September 11, 2001.
