My Sunday Boston Globe had the world-wide demonstrations story from Saturday bannered across the top of p1....and if I'm not mistaken, the NYTimes also had it on page one of the Sunday paper....all the cable news channels gave it endless coverage... - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Daniel Ridings Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 3:27 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Was anti-war stuff, is now, gasp, "Some of my friends are Republicans" > The WSJ for example, is enough to make me vomit... so I imagine Austin > might feel the same about something like the Boston Globe/NY Times. :) On the contrary ... You KNOW where the WSJ is coming from. You just learn to read between the line. I've been doing this with media for 30 years now. It was really educational to follow the american media's coverage of the global demonstrations ... largest in history. They started talking about a "few thousand" here and there. Finally, after a couple of days, they realized they better get out with the facts. This was just too big to ignore. But the media did try and play it down. And now, a few days later, it is difficult to find articles, whereas you can find old dusty archives on Iraq all over the place. Strange.
