Here is an example of manipulation of the media----- Off of my newswire today---

NBC is airing a 2 part mini series "Atomic Train"----(fiction)

ok, since I type with one finger, bear with me if I leave out something...

"" In the meantime , NBC- whose corporate parent General Elactric has a significant economic interest in the nuclear industry- is re-editing the serieas to delete any references to nuclear waste, an NBC spokeswoman has confirmed.

"Atomic Train" will still involve a runaway train with a Russian bomb, but instead of nuclear waste the characters in the film will refer rather nebulously to the train carrying "hazardous material"

blah blah
Proposed legislationcalls for shipping waste by rail.
The cotroversy freighted measure if enacted into law, would require by 2003 the shipment of thousands of tons of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel from power plants across the U.S. Much of the spent fuel would be transported by rail...

It goes on------
