- On our Free Press (during the Panama Invasion)...
-
-
- | Reporters Rallying Round The Flag |
- | |
- | Journalists justified their role as distributors of |
- | government handouts in different ways. Asked on Day 1 why US |
- | opponents of the invasion were virtually invisible on-the-air, |
- | a "CBS" producer (who declined to give her name) told |
- | "Extra!": "When American troops are involved and taking |
- | losses, this is not the time to be running critical |
- | commentary. The American public will be rallying around the |
- | flag." |
-
- ...at work.
-
- From _The Media Goes to War: How Television Sold the Panama Invasion_
- a report by FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting). Use the GET
- command with PANAMA INVASION for a copy of this report.
-
- Use GET also with CHOMSKY VICTORS1 for more background (which comes
- with the original footnotes).
