Uh huh.....
- It tells students that the United States went to war in Iraq
because
of weapons of mass destruction -- but fails to note that, in fact,
Iraq did not have WMD. Nor does it note the increasing evidence that
the Bush administration knew this all along and manipulated
intelligence in order to make a dishonest case for war.
Apparently you just send them out in e-mail newsletters.....
Absolutely: emails that are sent out to people who specifically asked
for them, and who presumably knew that they were signing up for a
partisan email newsletter.
Unless, of course, you mean my post to Brin-L, but I think I know you
this list well enough to anticipate that you won't be spared other
people's opinions here :-).
I think the difference between an opt-in mailing list for a progressive
media watchdog organization and an FCC license is large enough to
allow those newsletters to say whatever the hell they want. And since
I was referring in the quoted section to the (now-cancelled) Scholastic
teaching materials, I think the difference between a partisan mailing
list and a classroom are even greater.
If I want to create the "Hillary Clinton Secretly Licks Squirrels"
mailing list, and people sign up to hear about the Senator's lingual
contact with Sciuridae, that's a very different matter from a broadcast
network's choosing to air a docudrama on the subject.
Isn't it?
Dave
