A group of women held our first 'protest & speakout'outside Cable News Network (CNN) on October 25 to press for the truth about the war in Afghanistan. We plan to return bi-weekly to display the 'censored facts' and demand they be broadcast. Bring your news and views to share with others. All Welcome!
The new war depends on the media trumpeting the government's lies and hiding the truth. We are targeting CNN because:
CNN has refused to show images of the dead and wounded, victims of the bombing in Afghanistan. Their lives are dismissed as `collateral damage', but they are no less valuable than those who died on Sept. 11. Their mothers and other loved ones also grieve and seek justice.
It also censors news of the massive opposition to the war in every country - including the US.
CNN is the main TV news internationally.
