CNN net attack underway now!

by spyder
Activists from Belgium have set up a site that reloads the CNN page every ten seconds. If enough people go to that page and leave their browsers open, we will shut down CNN.

So leave your browsers open and go help your friends in the streets of SF.
CNN has been a mouthpiece for the war effort from the beginning. Although I notice they haven't reported that their own reporters have been kicked out of Iraq (see http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,7493,919379,00.html )
They misrepresent the truth of domestic support for this war by giving equal time to pro-war demonstrations (tens of thousands of people in the US) and anti-war demonstrations (millions of people around the world for over a month now).

Their reports scream 'BE AFRAID' and give very little other information, hoping the public, afraid of terrorism will look to the president (or, technically, governor) to lead them to safety while every day he jeopardizes more American lives by creating the perfect conditions for terrorist retaliation.

Visiting this site is one way to fight the information war, which will ultimately be what touches people's hearts and minds as they make their political decisions.

I've been sitting here on my puter for about an hour and watching the hit #s go up to (now) about 297 hits per minute.

Leave your browsers open and go support those in the streets of SF. The whole world is watching, and I"m praying for you. Thank you for taking personal risks to end this inhumane war.
