Manipulation and Demolition

Like any self-respecting Tory-backing sewer newspaper The Sun, The Daily Mail and Telegraph immediately jumped on the bandwagon of demonizing the students/protestors taking part in the Millbank tower occupation. By publicizing the protestors pictures the newspapers have fueled the hysteria that supposed “anarchists” had taken a violent control of the demonstration and that the protestors main aim was to disturb “peace” and vandalize property. This not only looks, but is a such a violent manipulation of public opinion and an effort to demolish those students/protestors rights.

Manipulation because there are enough eye-witness reports that tell a different story of the supposed “riots” at Millbank 30 (like this one) and that do not demonize the students/protestors. Demolish their rights because the gutter journalists have not engaged in objective journalism, but simply published pictures with stereotypical right-wing comments demonizing the genuine “anger” that made the students/protestors act in such a manner.

That these “newspapers” are able to do this kind of stuff without any opposition just makes my blood bail. Because this is not how citizens in a democracy should be treated (as the students/protestors) nor informed about (like the public) protests against measures that will affect EVERYBODY in their own private lives.
But maybe we should all take into account Jello Biaffra’s words; Don’t Hate the Media, Be the Media

STOP THE HUNT

Hey y’all. As you might have read The Telegraph is organising a hunt for the protesters captured on film at the riots in Millbank 30 yesterday. They are asking people to sent names to studentriots@telegraph.co.uk if they recognize people. I got a message on FB urging to clog up their the Torygraph’s mailboxes. I thought to send “I see Nick Cleggs Conscience reflected in the protesters eyes. Lock him up!”.
 But any other fun/crazy/nuts/mad mail will do! Anybody up for some cyber-activism? Join in! And invite your friends to the FB event (if you got FB)

UPDATE: The Daily Mail has “identified” several protestors and demonized them. You can spam them on news@dailymail.co.uk

Update2: as always The Sun Couldn’t stay behind. They are looking for the bare-chested student. You can spam them on exclusive@the-sun.co.uk

Prime ministerial debates belong to the voters, not the politicians.

After all, debates, like the election itself, belong to the voters. They don’t belong to the politicians.

Doesn’t the addition participation and voters sum up to Democracy?
