News INC.

Now we can see the danger in what the ACLU and other civil liberties organizations warned us about when Corporations started buying up newspapers and other media outlets. You can see it at it's most "innocent" when magazines owned by a film company, give "reviews" of their movies, or advertise them in the guise of "news" about them.

Now corporations with an interest in WAR business can run story after story and photos to tear your heart out, as news...when its mainly a promotion for their products. At a time when we desperately need news that's free of commercial taint, when we have dummies par excellance at aina and elsewhere falling into lockstep...we get out and out bias parading as news, even more dangerously than it has in the past.

No photographers at the Gulf War...and now it wont matter that much if they are around.
