well I'm glad wherever you live doesn't ban the books/information/images you like,
and please explain how your independent v corporate comment changes the fact that whatever book
you're on about is there in your hands, as opposed to being banned with a ridiculous social upheaval?
EDIT: you didn't really explain why you jumped on "Jewish actions" yet.[/quote:7d965]
I jumped on jewish actions is because they go unreported in western media. I could tell something about Israel to somebody on this board on they wouldn't know it...mainly because western media doesn't report it. Media statistics in the arab world are rare especially about reporting...but who in the west watches al jazeera to get the daily news? they would rather get it from cnn. That's why I wish people would read certain sites to get the daily news, the info is there you just need to search for it.
My independent v corporate case is justifiable I think. Somebody like Noam Chomsky for example (a far left critic on foreign policy and media) his books come out from South End Press a independent publisher and other independent publishers. He has said that corporate publishers do not wish to run his material because of his controversial books. Just like how he is banned from going on certain media outlets. Gwynne Dyer (A canadian military historian) was banned from writing articles in the jerusalem post because conrad black, a canadian conservative who ran the paper disagreed with what he had to say so he banished him from all the papers he runs (he owned alot when he was big). I can give you a site that shows which corporations run the main publishers if you like. Information does get out don't get me wrong, but only some voices are heard rather than all.
