Diane Ream, an avid supporter of killing the disfigured states,
"It's what the higher ups in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting want. I've been so blatantly biased for so long, and so well supported, I'm thinking of having executions live on the air. Protestors and anarchists can call in their support. These people don't fit into America or our view of America. No one cares, people really want these people dead.
Not since killing off the Native Americans has killing Indians been so popular. HA HA HA.
Support NPR, my good friend Cujo Nambdi, and all of us at National Public Radio. We can show you what the most virulent hate propaganda can really do in brainwashing the young."
Thanks for listening!"
NPR, I would encourage you to take a step back and notice that news worthy of discussion can actually be found in the thinkers standing outside of the convention. They are being hushed and stamped out for reasons that can be guessed.
You are our National Public radio. You do not have the excuse of corporate sponsors as corporate media does. You are owned by Us and your mission is to communicate topics of National Interest.
It is in the National Interest to do fair reporting about demonstrators that have been in the streets practicing civil disobedience--the most enlightened option available to political dissidents. Their disobedience is to oppression--that experienced by each person individually, and collectively as all workers of the world. The vigilant people of LA, Philadelphia, DC, Seattle, Chiapas, Indonesia and more, have been demonstrating their complete adherence to the principles of justice and truth, and their faith in the concept of Democracy. And they have all been addressing the same thing: Those hungry for money are killing the rest of us.
We're supposed to be able to talk about change so we as a Nation can effect change. Why are art and music and comedy now so threatening? Why are puppets and those that created them, to be destroyed? Why is raising your voice above a tiny, Politically Correct whisper a punishable crime? Why is it dangerous to express yourself in this 'free country?'
Political dissent has always been met with hostility, but sustained dissent has always been what made Civilization evolve. Participants in these Information Demonstrations are not the lowly people unworthy of respect as NPR has conveyed. They have traveled from afar, put themselves in face of danger--rubber bullets, teargas, and batons H u r t--and live every day with intent to practice Good Will to All--humans, animals, and our surroundings. They consider the pursuit of art and science as a life worth living.
That you chose/choose so much commentary that simply belittles all of these concerns; that their needs to replenish their bodies with water and edible food were ignored; and that they were denied their rights to see a lawyer, leave doubt as to the veracity of NPR signifying National Public Radio, because it may actually stand for No Public Recourse.
NPR's coverage has defamed the demonstrators' collective character with just a few snide words about youth or enthusiasm. Be aware that expressing your thoughts in the manner of those in the streets is not cozy like a Sunday paper or a listen to All Things Considered.
This Is a young movement, but NPR is mistaken to classify it as a college-kid action. In the United States, the movement itself is a baby, and are now starting to wake up to the rest of the world.
Stop disparaging the intentions or sincerity of those involved in demonstrations, and turn the focus back on the the real issue: Money and the multinational quest for it, is Killing Us ALL.
