this revolution, baby, proves who you work for lately

Thanks to evilhanyou for discussing news events in her eljay that I actually care about, instead of, you know, the US media spouting the fact that Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to another victory the other night, or that Kate Gosselin hired police to chase paparazzi away from her $1.1 million mansion.


I think this pic says it all.




More pictures are here.

Our media slept on the job. If they had been more about being "investigative reporters" than about access to those in power, we would have taken the SCOTUS decision making the Shrub our president to the streets.

Now, they just parrot whatever the Republicans are saying (including the bigot-talk and Torture is Good BS...which sadly, my parents have swallowed hook, line, and sinker). Fortunately, I don't entirely rely on the corporate media and look to other outlets for my news Course, my parents are thinking that if I "get out in the world", I might understand, which is a stupid argument, because if the world includes becoming a xenophobe and a torture apologist, I think I'll pass, thanks.

It's kinda hard to cover this. I was watching early BBC reports and they had to stay in their cards since the reporters were being arrested on sight. The first step a dictatorship needs to take is to take control of the media. In America the media went silent and refused to cover any anti-war/anti-Bush protests unless it was to mock them.

Iranians are probably getting all their news from the internet and from the BBC like everyone else.

Yeah, I hear they're getting organized and covering events through Twitter. Cellphones are being jammed.
