Alternate Views of the Fire Disaster
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, October 24, 2007 – While corporate media provides real time images of fires from helicopters and speeches from elected officials eager not to miss a photo opportunity, independent media is showing another side to the fire disaster. The clear links to global warming, oil wars and over development go unreported and instead the fixation with apocalyptic images is broadcast and rebroadcast. Bush is scheduled to visit the area tomorrow and there are calls for protests against his visit.

Clearly even the mass media with all its wealth and resources is unable to convey the full scope and meaning of the disaster unfolding before us. Independent news and viewpoints are however finding outlets through this site and others. Collected here are some recent postings from our readership:
