Marcos on independent media

"By not having to answer to the monster media monopolies, the independent media have a life's work, a political project, and a purpose to let the truth be known. This is increasingly important in the globalization process. Truth becomes a knot of resistance against the lie. Our only possibility is to save the truth, to maintain it and
distribute it little by little in the same way that the books were saved in the Farenheit 451 by the group of people who dedicated themselves to memorize books to save them from being destroyed so that ideas would not be lost. In this same way independent media tries to save history,
today's history, tries to save it and tries to share it so that it will not disappear. Moreover it tries to distribute it to other places so that this history is not limited to one country, one region, to one city or social group. It is necessary, not only for independent voices to exchange information and to broaden the channels but to resist the
monopolies spreading lies. The truth that we build in our groups, our cities, our regions, our countries will reach full potential if we join with other groups and realize that what is occurring in other parts of the world also is part of human history."

Why after Princess Diana's tireless and selfless campaign to highlight the barbarity of land-mines which riddle the 'developing' World, was she replaced by David Ginola??? I haven't seen media crews following this 'ambassador' into sticken areas to hold hands with dying infants deprived of medical care! Isn't it rather convenient that this issue died a death with Diana?

Lady...DIE!
