Contact details to complain about mainstream coverage

The BBC's coverage of today's Stop the War demo has been disgraceful with one pathetic mention hidden away in the UK section of news online ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/england/newsid_1850000/1850879.stm)

To complain about news online coverage email  newsonline.complaints@bbc.co.uk

To complain about TV and Radio news coverage phone the switchboard on 0870 0100222

Naturally there is nothing in the corporate media. The Guardian, of which we might expect better, has nothing on its website. You can write a letter to the letters page by emailing  letters@guardian.co.uk (include contact address). Phone 020 7278 2332 or email the Readers' editor  reader@guardian.co.uk

why whine?

Because they have been knowingly party to the big lie for the last few months so spectacularly, you cannot expect the main media to advertise any opposition, with a whole heart.They've been complicit in the propaganda front. Only by taking the message about the lies away from the internet and on to the front pages can there be any movement(see Canadian Vision TV and the Vancouver Sun}. However good the speech of a Galloway, he's part of the problem. Why's he still in the Labour Party? He must know he's living a lie - to be still part of something so corrupt. Things have changed since last September, and unless the left take the challenge to explain exactly what it is, they will find themselves bleating in the widerness, and there will not be an ongoing campaign - just crisis management - when Iraq or somewhere takes the biscuit, it'll be big again. Which is why we can admit to a smaller scale demonstration today. It's a question of joining the dots and exposing the reality. See the conspiracy agenda.

wee media poem

BBC News 24 spews out
It's version of what this worlds about
Fleet st propoganda is similarly aligned
our information spectrum clearly limited and defined

the use of imagery's selective
edited to influence perception
the information is defective
in fact it's tantamount to deception

but instead of sitting whingeing
about what mainstream media said
join up with indymedia
and report the news yourself instead !
