[Media-watch] PUBLIC MEETING in Leeds

[David Miller]

In case anyone can get to Leeds

PUBLIC MEETING
As we move towards the anniversary of the massive London march against the
war held on February 15 2003 an important public meeting dissects the role
of the media.


TELL ME LIES
Propaganda and Media Distortion in the Attack on Iraq


Did the US and UK governments lie about weapons of mass destruction to
promote an attack on Iraq?  Did the media hold them to account or act as
cheerleaders for war?  After the publication of the Hutton report this
timely public meeting also publicises another important publication Tell Me
Lies, a collection of material edited by David Miller and published by Pluto
Press.  Written by some of the world's leading journalists and commentators,
Tell Me Lies is a scathing indictment of the role of the mainstream media in
legitimising government actions and undermining dissent.
