.............................................................. >From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed]: Conspiracy Shopping Cart: http://a-albionic.com/shopping.html From: Ian Goddard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: More GovtMedia Date: Sunday, April 02, 2000 4:51 AM "The government grants vastly different amounts of taxpayer money to different magazines, depending on how effective their content is deemed at building support for the war on drugs." - The Drug War Gravy Train, Salon.com - http://salon.com/news/feature/2000/03/31/magazines/index.html Once again the Internet journal Salon.com has exposed a surreptitious collusion between major media and the government. In Salon's latest expose we discover that more than 20 magazines conspired with the government to include War-on-Drug propaganda in their regular "objective" news and contents rather than running antidrug advertisements. Some of those magazines are: Life, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, People, Reader's Digest, TV Guide, Sports Illustrated, Essence, Ladies' Home Journal, Teen, Vibe, People En Espanol, Family Life, Sporting News, Family Circle, Seventeen, Parade, and USA Weekend. A journalist whose story was subjected to oversight by the government told Salon: "This is a clear violation of journalistic ethics. It's really egregious. This shapes the type of reporting you're doing and what editors are asking for... If we ever did something like this as a writer -- showed a story to a source ahead of publication, say -- our career would be finished." Other members of the media are more eager to serve the federal government's agenda, as one magazine spokesperson told Salon: "We do exactly what Congress asks us to do. We totally comply with the drug-control office requirements." This is not an independent media! Salon previously revealed that most major television networks had also conspired with the federal government to propagate Drug-War propaganda under the guise of their regularly featured television programs. The fact is that most of the major networks and magazines went along with this scheme and NONE of them came forward to inform their consumers either (a) that their product was written to comply with government-content requirements or (b) that the government had approached them with a scheme to surreptitiously include propaganda into their news and entertainment programming, which would surely have made a major story! The systematic and cooperative nature of this collusion tends to suggest a long-term Govt/media collusion: ============================================================= Salon.com - March 31, 2000 ============================================================= THE DRUG WAR GRAVY TRAIN How the White House rewarded U.S. News, Seventeen and other magazines for publishing anti-drug articles.
