The Extreme Weather We?re Experiencing Is Not Man Made, According to the IPCC Sun Jul 28, 2024 07:00 | Mark Ellse
Day-to-day weather, with all its extremes, is "just weather", according to the IPCC. With their authority onside, we can shrug off the BBC's melodramatic climate reports and misinformation, says Mark Ellse.

The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

Debt-Funded GB Energy to Bet on the Costliest Electricity Generation Technologies Sat Jul 27, 2024 15:00 | David Turver
So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

never mind the media. we have our own.
nice statement by the gn. a quick glance through history books should give us all reason enough to stay out any make it the best may day ever!
let worried "bertie", the 3 rd rate hacks, and our unrepresentative unions have their say in their horrible dirt rags.
the 1st rate hacks in the partisan broadsheets are the ones who deserve least respect. abdicating any social responiosbility under the guise of impartiality, their editors are the real enemy.
The facade of the Fortress
An Audio-Visual come-on farce
But I am currently researching your organisations, your ideologies, and your plans for Mayday.
There is another thread about 'corporate menace journalists' where this debate has been going on.
I have been in contact with, or contacted by, representatives of your organisations. However, I would like to hear from any people that might have something interesting to say. I would appreciate it if all callers were genuine, as they have been so far.
I am genuinely interested in independent, unbiased research that is neither naive, nor agenda-driven.
thanks
why not get out there and do some research, instead of sitting at home reading indymedia and asking for callers. go to meetings, read some books.
try something unique.
also: there is no such thing as "unbiased" coverage.
there is no man on the street.
to further the agenda of mortgage
and pensions funds
and biotech
and banking
and clothing
and food
and water?
How dare you come here now, and suggest you have no agenda. To our internet, to our places, thinking the same as yours.
You are one and the same person. This is not 'your place'. This is an independent website. I will not be drawn into an exchange of insults. If you want to say something to me, say it, my number is here.
There is no man of the Street.
Ha.
That's my quote of the week. It's funny cos it's true.
Reading the internet is just a part of this research. I do read books, leaflets etc on the ideology. I don't prejudge you.... don't prejudge me
...simmer down and stop savaging the poor journalist. what has s/he done wrong? exhibited an emotional maturity reaching beyond your thirteen years? give the journo a buzz if you have anything to say, otherwise, give the rest of us a break, please.
why don't you look inaward at your own lot
to serve us in two ways by doing unbiased work on our idealogies and
why don't you rasie a ruckess in the nuj etc to see that both tabloid and so called "serious" journalist do there job better?would like to hear your thoughts on this
its like the cops, each individual swears there clean but they turn a blind eye to the colleagues screwing people left right and centre
You make some good points, and I am not saying that they aren't valid. But please understand that I don't intend debating that on the web, It would just descend into a slagging match. I am not out to cause a ruckuss anywhere, I am not involved in anarchism, so I don't intend on serving anyone.
But you are right........ my research must look at both the behaviour of the media as well as the behaviour of anarchists. There are outlets in the mainstream press for this type of story if they are done correctly
serve yourself and your proffesion by
highlighting the issue in your associations...
the lazy media is one of the main reason alternatives views don't get a fiar hearing....
as for the slagging don't take it personally
this is the web you know

i evaluated, i diddnt judge. anyhow, you expect the avant garde to ring you on your 086 number with opinions better formulated in books, better expressed in person, at the meetings, on the demos, in the blocades.
You have now made the same request for information on two threads. We have a policy against posting across threads. Please read the guidelines on how to use this community site (see link below). You are now spamming and derailing threads for your own personal benefit and either are ignorant of our guidelines (that is you haven't made any effort to research this site and how it operates) or else are selfishly ignoring those guidelines because you want "a story".
Please cut it out and please don't bother to reply on this thread any further. The purpose of the "comments" section below each story is for people to _add_ information about the newswire item.
Point taken. I will post my reply on the thread you gave me a link to
like this:
http://www.urban75.org/mayday01/001.html
I'd bet my bottom dollar the ultimate source of these cover stories in Star, Mirror and IoS is MIcko McD and the aim is to stop the protests before they begin by first isolating those who protest without permits and cutting down their numbers and second by creating a moral panic which will legitamize pre-emptive policing.
Protest Organisers need to really quickly make this ideologically driven and reckless (and expensive) scaremongering a public issue and make their case in the big media or this tactic is going to work. Press Releases on Indymedia and e-mailed to journos will not do the trick. More is required.
Fair point.
How do you propose that the issue be brought into the 'big media'? (genuine question)
