S-11 Redux:
(Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse

It is a well-known and widely accepted fact that, during wartime, news companies
and governmental representatives fuse their voices together into one univocal
beam of support for the national military objective. And, while, for many, this
is a vital aspect of institutional patriotism, it is also a very dangerous and
troubling reality. For, if the news media have abandoned their responsibility to
objectively inform the population, then our concept of a democracy (which is
founded on the ability for all citizens to choose their nation's destiny based
on a full spectrum of information) is in desperate peril.

But imagine a mediascape in which politicians actually said what they meant and
meant what they said. One where the talking heads on broadcast news actually
challenged the powerful interests in Washington not with fangless
sensationalism, but with insightful deconstructions of true power and its
manipulations.

We can't.

At least, not in the current corporate controlled environment of media
ownership. And especially not with the so-called War on Terrorism and its
burgeoning McCarthyistic clampdown on open displays of dissent.

So, in the face of our media's shameless propaganda campaign, we have taken it
upon ourselves to intuit what the intentions and goals of this war truly are. In
what is surely a departure from our traditional NewsVideo format, GNN presents
S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse. Culled from over 20 hours of
television footage recorded over a one month period and across 13 networks, S-11
Redux is a sound-bite blitzkrieg that challenges the messages we have been fed
from our mainstream media and the government it serves. Be warned - this video
moves quickly and will require at least two viewings to digest its full impact.
You may never be able to look at the coverage of S-11 and its post-impact
coverage the same way, ever again.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please!  These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.

Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
