Real Lives Not Media Lies

The mainstream media has been heavily criticised for its pro bias coverage of the attack on Iraq and has seen an increasing amount of action taken against them. Most recently on April fools Day in Manchester thirty people occupied the News International Office, which run the Times and the Sun. Once inside they handed out literature to the staff before being painfully removed. The Sun tabloid was also a target of a student die-in outside the sun offices in Tower Hill, London. Also in London a protest outside the BBC was met with a line of police outside the front of the building with the gate to the entrance shut, preventing access.
These actions followed on from a demonstration outside the Manchester BBC offices Saturday the 29th, which saw two marches converge on the Headquarters. The previous night BBC deputy Editor Mark Damazar was confronted with a barrage of questions at a public discussion organised by Media Workers Against the War criticising the pro-government war led agenda.
A list of military/govt. claims and media counter-claims published by the MediaGuardian shows how some of the lies are being disproved.
