[Media-watch]

[YvonneMarshall]

Dear List-Members,
 
There is no attachment with this, it's just another 
rant.
 
Where is the indignation that spurred the 
establishment of Media-Watch ? 
 
Where is the calmly-expressed anger of the majority 
who opposed the UK govt's stance on Iraq's invasion ? 
 
Where are the careful, patient analyses of the 
outpourings of the Hutton Inquiry ? 
 
Was Media-Watch not established to provide a forum 
for people with legitimate concerns about the predictable abuse of 
mass-media when 'war' became inevitable ? 
 
Why have the voices dimmed and died ? 
 
Did you concern yourself with media-watch ? 

 
What were your feelings when you did ? 

 
What has changed between then and now 
?
 
Is your life richer for having witnessed the 
travails of the New Labour Project ? 
 
Who would you choose to play Lord Hutton in the 
soon-to-be-trailed dramatisation of events ?
 
Who authorised the strategy designed to release Dr 
David Kelly's name to the media ? Was it ;
 
A:  Pam Teare
B.  Geoff Hoone
C. Kevin Tebbit
 
How many Iraqi CIVILIANS are now deceased *as a 
result of the 'Coalition' Action against Iraq ?
Is it :
 
A:   7,000
B:   15,000
C:   37,000
 
(*You can easily find sources which confirm any of 
these figures - go online and do the donkey-work yourself.)
 
Purely personal note - I could, like many other 
folk, concentrate my time and energy on the fantastically simple, 
straightforward pursuit of money. I CHOOSE to get involved with projects like 
Media-Watch because I honestly believe that there are many many intelligent, 
well-qualified, influential people out there (even in a wee place like Scotland) 
who are utterly scunnered about what's happening and want to make a difference. 
If you are one of those people, or know someone who is, please show them this 
message and ask them to help, in whatever way they can, to broaden debate and 
start asking the questions that have to be asked (e.g. anything even vaguely 
9/11-related) 
 
Scotland is sending young men and women to die in 
the Middle East. Scottish people are entitled to ask why. 
 
The 'war' they are fighting has not yet been 
justified.
 
If you can help raise these questions, even in 
your own household, please do.
 
Thank you for your attention,
 
Ian, X
