US Students Active Against Iraq War Comment by Larry Ross, March 16, 2007
Students everywhere will be interested in this article and video about US students becoming more active against the Iraq war and Bush's plans for a new major war against Iran. Because the US mass media acts as the war propaganda department of the Bush Administration there is a virtual media blackout on news about Campus protest activities and teach-ins in the USA. 'Embedded' reporters usually only report war news, and war-related news, the way the Pentagon wants. They suppress the truth and endlessly repeat Bush Administration lies. That pro-Bush, pro-war attitude even extends to overseas media in New Zealand and other allied countries, like Australia and Britain. Even so, people are waking up to the fact that they have been conned into war by a litany of lies, endlessly repeated in most mass media. They used to rely on the honesty of their news media. But no longer can they expect comprehensive coverage on anything to do with the wars and war plans of the Bush Administration. Among the mass media, only internet provides an honest and complete coverage of the Bush Administration, it's lies and it's wars. Small publications and public radio can also give honest reporting and coverage. The following gives students the facts. It would be a great help if readers would forward this article to students, student organizations and their media. If Bush is not stopped, he will try and target today's students, and make them tomorrow's cannon fodder. They have a right to be informed and warned.
