 <\/td>\r\n\r\nU.S. corporate media have openly acknowledged the importance of the\r\nFTAA, yet have not significantly covered it. At the same time, the little\r\ncoverage that exists has been imbalanced and generally lacking of\r\nsubstance. A database search of 6 months of coverage shows just how lacking the coverage has been. \r\nThe only relief came in letters to the editor.\r\n<\/b>\r\n\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\nWhile the importance of the Summit has been openly\r\nacknowledged, millions of Americans who rely upon the corporate\r\nmedia for news have learned next to nothing about \r\nit and its implications for their own lives and futures.\r\n <\/b>
