photos of massive anti-war London protest the NYT ignored last yr
Edited on Tue Sep-09-03 05:04 PM by protect freedom impe
This is the largest ant-war protest in a generation
that the New York Times completely ignored last year.

It was front page news across the globe, except in USA.
It was front page news BUT the New York Times
had NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZILTCH, NOT A GOD DAMNED THING !

The New York Times covered-up and 'protected' their boyking.
The New York Times refused to cover the news that the entire
world was reporting in detail.

The New York Times had been bought off by the Bushitas.



here's what the New York Times ignored.
It was the LARGEST anti-war protest since Vietnam.
It was the Largest anti-war protest in over 30 years

yet the New York Times, even though it has a office in London,
failed to somehow reven report on the anti-Bush protest the next day's
Sunday newspaper, or the Monday paper (except a single sentence buried
in an artcile about Blair's troubles, it mentioned large anti-war protests during the past weekend. YUP - that was all the NYwhores reported)

2. Wasn't that RIGHT about the time Tom Friedman wrote his
masterpiece article in the NYT entitled: "Just Give War a Chance"?


My, I believe it was.

3. The Weekend the Media Died
Analysis of Mainstream Coverage of Iraq War Protests:
The Weekend the Media Died

"Well, fellow supporters of a free and honest press, as of this weekend, we are officially going it alone, without any pretense of help from the mainstream (not that it has shown more than the rare flicker for months). Mark Sept. 29 as the day that American Media Died. What little life it had left was choked from it by order of the Bush Reich, which was aggressively seeking to protect itself, like a cancer from the immune system, from the threat of dissent. There is not even any semblance of balanced reporting reflecting the reality of the American scene right now. It is all Bush spin, all the time, with sports and Chandra Levy thrown in for added diversions. " So writes Cheryl Seal, who presents summaries of the NYT, Post, MSNBC, CBS, AOL, and FOX slants for the weekend.
