History, recovered
by flynn23 at 8:13 pm EST, Nov 11, 2002

Interesting analysis of news stories from 10 different media outlets. Passages are quoted from 1998 and 2002. All of these passages relate to the big lie that UN weapons inspectors were expelled from Iraq in 1998. It's a bold faced lie being propagated by the following culprits:

ABC News
NBC News
Associated Press, The
Los Angeles Times, The
National Public Radio
Cable News Network
USA Today
New York Times, The
Washington Post, The
Newsday

Not terribly shocking given the corporate media consolidation in the last decade (what are we down to now, like 4 or 5 major holding corporations?) but I've never seen it laid out in such a clear, concise before and after format.

Kill your television. Kill your radio. Free the internet.

I don't find it shocking either. War and catastrophe are media's best sellers.

What is shocking is that most people when confronted with this kind of information usually blow it off as an isolated incident.

Wake up people. You should question everything the mainstream media tells you.

I'm somehwhat suprised that NPR is on that list. They are usually at a level that seperates them from the other names on the list. Oh well...
