Protest KQED’s sell-out to Corporate-Govt. Fascism and War: Protest at KQED Tuesday, 4/8 at noon. 2601 Mariposa (it’s in the Mission)
Protest KQED’s sell-out to Corporate-Govt. Fascism and War: April 8 at Noon, 2601 Mariposa (it’s in the Mission) Network vs, Disinformation For Info call: Marc 510-466-0237 (p)

We Accuse:
KQED – PBS – NPR of

1. Violating their mission and the public’s trust in NOT providing “a voice for groups in the community that may otherwise be unheard.”

2. Prostituting the public’s airways in support of corporate greed and aggressive war.

3. Deliberately limiting voices of reason, dissent, and resistance.

4. Pretending to be sponsored mainly by public subscriptions when vast sums of their program underwriting is from giant corporations, banks, insurance companies, military contractors and the U.S. government with whom they constantly collude.

5. Allowing to go unchallenged the U.S. government and right wing advocates of war crimes, aggression, torture, fascism and every manner of anti-Americanism (thank God they haven’t yet censored the humane intelligence of Bill Moyers and ‘Now’).

We Demand:

1. An end to public KQED radio and TV accepting sponsorships from corporations known to be major military contractors and any monopolistic corporations despoiling our earth.

2. Remove the militarily in-bedded News Hour with Jim Lehrer; include voices critical of the war.

3. The truth about the war in Iraq and its roots (eg. we demand constant exposure of the lies and deceptions used by the U.S. government, such as forged documents on Iraq, the fictional link of Iraq to 9/11, the fraud of Iraq’s nuclear weapons revival, the incubator story from 1990, the suppressed US intelligence reports against this war, and so on).

4. A public apology that KQED regrets having contributed in any way to fostering support for a war of aggression which violates both U.S. and international laws.

5. A statement by KQED leadership that torture, indeterminate detentions without trial and the Patriot Act are a violation of our nation’s democratic principles and the rights of its citizens and residents.

Hello All,

just a quick fyi on NPR: during the US attack on Afghanistan NPR had U.S. military press advisors on their staff. These personnel edited all NPR news briefings to suit U.S. military propaganda requirements.

DO NOT TRUST NPR...they are in direct collusion with the U.S. military propaganda interests.
