He was a co-founder of the organization, so I mentioned him. I have no idea of the scope of his further involvement save that Greiner was also denied entrance to China.

Yes it does, but while accolades are unnecessary, press coverage really isn’t and I never heard of Cheek, Greiner or Team Darfur before the incident I posted about. When I web searched for Cheek i originally got very few responses that even mentioned his work to end the Sudanese genocide.

You’re most welcome Jonolan, glad that i have found your blog.

You know it takes agraet deal of self-sacrifice and believe in one’s cause to be able to do what he is doing. In the end, this world has heroes that are unrecognized. It is a good thing they don’t do it for accolades.

BTW, great debate we are having over at my house. I think you are utterly mis-informed in some aspects of the nature of this whole global war issue.

Thanks, for stopping by, Dr. Ethiopia.

I’m not sure how much impact Cheek will have since he doesn’t get much press coverage. It is good that someone is trying to do something though.

Kudos to Joey Cheek. What a profound impact he would leave on our rather hate driven planet.

I’m not completely sure that ITN qualifies as MSM News. They don’t have a track record of living down to that designation.

Well the MSM tries to report some things in China. Like the ITN reporter that got arrested. I saw the vid it was wild. Story

This is yet another reason to boycott the Blood Olympics.

Thanks, Mike – I try

I’m guessing that the places you go to for news are affiliated with the MSM who are heavily invested in both China and their advertisers – who are also heavily invested in China. You can’t expect them to report on much of anything that is not pro-China at this time.
