PROPAGANDA 101 Hi Karen, Re: actually i saw one of the so called pro war marches in PA...11 people showed up and they were filmed from several tight angles so as to make it look as though there were more... Do you have anything available as a URL or file on this? I'm reminded of this: informationclearinghouse.info I think what we need to do is to document the lying, conniving scheming way that Clear Channel and its co-conspirators are attempting to distort reality. ******** We had something similar happen up here in Bend last October. I organized 350 anti-war demonstrators to march through downtown. Our local NBC affiliate, KZTV came out to film the demonstration. On one of their newscasts, the news reader implied that there were anti-war protesters on one sidewalk, and pro war protesters on the opposite sidewalk. It was a complete lie. There were about 5 pro-war "Whack Iraq" protesters on only one street corner. It was pretty low for the media to lie like that. But, that's the kind of America we live in, where the truth isn't respected any longer. Very disappointing. Speaking of which, I found this article to be quite compelling, regarding how we are bringing up our children: democraticunderground.com
