Phil Donahue (Body of War), Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!), Naomi Klein (Author), Sonali Kolhatkar (Author), Rev, Lennox Yearwood (Hip Hop Caucus) Moderator: Norman Solomaon (Institute for Public Accuracy) Date: June 7th 2008 There s no greater challenge for a free press than covering issues of war and peace. And government and military attempts to manipulate the media have never been more sophisticated. The failure of the press to ask tough questions in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq and the resulting consequences is now well-documented. But what about what s happening right now in Iraq, Afghanistan and on the home front? Have the media learned from their failures? Has anything changed? What are the stories that aren t being told by corporate media?

The canal street ferry, shuttling internally displaced traffic across the mississippi river, was circled through the day by coast guard boats fully armed and ready to fire mounted machine guns, in full show of force and what bush intends to mean by 'security,' we on the docks agreed was menacing and intimidating. the imminent, historic, and nation-altering meeting about to take place between the leaders of the "free world'' is being met with little, hardly any, noticeable resistance. Due at least in part to the crippled condition of new orleans, where 3 years after the hurricanes people continue to face daily struggles to survive, with no surplus resources, time, or active community members to lend to what would likely be, in any other city in the hemisphere, an equally historic People's protest to the executive meeting. Civilian resistance and protest to massive free trade agreements seems to be planned for more by bush than by the american public or the "progressive left", and so new orleans is the perfect backdrop for the announcement of the spp: sweeping decisions adversely affecting millions of people are met with a strangled cry, gone unheard by the rest of the nation. "Understanding who profits and how: NAFTA + and Katrina Profiteering" was a misnomer, a vague power-analysis turned roundcircle discussion, facilitated by the people's institute for survival and beyond. The session was attended by community organizers, international public service workers union representative, mexican trade unions, activists from chiapas, american and canadian youth, citizen journalists and media activists, farmer union representative, social workers, non-profit organizations, and new orleanians, served more as the critical race theory workshop that the Peoples Institute is known for, and not as any attempt for a coordinated approach or discussion on how to challenge bush, calderon and harper at this critical moment. ironically, at this international summit, facilitators asked that we divide ourselves into national groups to notice similarities between new orleans and wherever we were visiting from, something that would have been manifold more useful to hear from each other, as it was a rare opportunity to hear voices from across the heavily guarded borders. discussion was derailed and became about how we are gate keepers, moving further and further away from any plan of action. the 6 hours were used as an introduction to social inequality, as if people signed up to take a class on the internalization of inferiority/superiority. in fact people came to act together in the face of big brother government. for all of our talk on giving voices to disenfranchised people around the world, taking queues from these communities, learning from eachother, creating access to decision-making, none of the mexicans who traveled the long distance were asked what they thought should happen at this summit. there was no mention of their very successful strategies for organizing resistance to destructive neo-colonial economic policies. nobody asked "what can we do now that all of our presidents are in town?" instead was the same old, painfully ineffective naval-gazing speaking with a gentleman from mexico after the looooong winded sessions were over, he asked what the break-out group of americans discussed, and i said they were just talking and not saying much, like americans do. and he laughed, agreeing said i should have been sitting with the mexican delegation because they were discussing that very point. report back is OK Related Links ::: SPP.gov, Freedom Fighter Radio, People's Summit,more NAU coverage @ MobileBroadcastNews.org ~ Sustainability would be nice. ~

This is the film that inspired the creation of the Maine Video Activists Network. It deconstructs the forces that shape our mainstream media system -- politics, advertising, government, and technology. Understanding these forces helps explain why some issues are covered (Tsunami, Martha Stuart, Paris Hilton, Street Crime), why some issues are not covered (gentrification, Free Trade Agreements, Third World Genocide), and why only the most homogenized content makes it through the Hollywood system. It then highlights what alternative forms of media are resisting these trends. Interviews include: Scott Beibin (Lost Film Fest), Penny Lane (Indymedia), Richard Rhames (Biddeford Public Access), Steve Thaxton (Gannet Broadcasting), Mary Caroline Powers (Broadcast Journalism), Noam Chomsky (Co-author of Manufacturing Consent), and more...

a parody of the I'm a Mac/I'm a PC ad depicting the differences between Community Television and corporate media.

national news media have never come to terms with what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for during his final years. when King focused his challenge on legalized racial discrimination in the South, most major media were his allies. But after passage of civil rights acts in 1964 and 1965, King began challenging the nation's fundamental priorities. He maintained civil rights laws were empty without "human rights" including economic rights. For people too poor to eat at a restaurant or afford a decent home, King said, anti-discrimination laws were hollow. Noting a majority of Americans below the poverty line were white, King developed a class perspective. He decried huge income gaps between rich and poor, and called for "radical changes in the structure of our society" to redistribute wealth and power. "True compassion," King declared, "is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." By 1967, King became most prominent opponent of Vietnam and a staunch critic of overall U.S. foreign policy, he deemed militaristic. In his "Beyond Vietnam" speech delivered at New York's Riverside Church on April 4, 1967 a year to the day before he was murdered King called US "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."

After literally decades of community organizing, various community leaders have finally succeeding shutting down the Hunter's Point power plant which has dumped tons of toxins into the predominately black and poor neighborhood of Hunters Point. The pollution is so rampant that over 40% of children that grow up in Hunter's Point suffer from asthma. Shutting down the plant was truly a monumental accomplishment, and not surprisingly, the SF politicos we're out the other day trying to take the credit with a fancy party and a photo-op at the plant. My friend Rob and I tried to get in to cover the event. We couldn't. This is what we were able to get.

Sorry shitty day. Spread some words, any words, any way you can.
