State Blames APPO for Brad Will's Death 
As the official investigation into the killing of Brad Will goes on, legitimate questions are being asked but it is increasingly obvious that the state government is not acting as impartial investigator, but rather as 'judge and jury,' in the words of APPO spokespeople. This week, the PGJE (Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado: roughly equivilent to the state attorney general's office) has attempted to blame APPO and its supporters for the killing, saying that they executed him at clos...

Corporate Propaganda Still On the News: Study Finds Local Stations Overwhelmingly Fail to Disclose VNRs A new study by the Center for Media and Democracy says Americans are still being shown corporate public relations videos disguised as news reports on newscasts across the country.

NBC Rejects Chics: What's Up With That? The Dixie Chicks, that is. This isn’t the first time that big media companies have barred them from the airwaves, but it is the first time that NBC and the new CW network have. It appears that once again the Dixie Chicks have exhibited public disapproval of the Bush administration and once again the media have answered by censoring them. This bodes ill for the future of free speech, at least what’s left of it in America. // © 2006, Sasha A. Rae, All Rights Reserved...
