I agree that articles etc should be posted - and discussed where relevant. These articles are, in fact, media messages. And this is a site concerned with 'watching' the media.....Those who do not wish to read or discuss can easily remove unwanted mail. Those of us who value this source of information and debate need to politely assert our desire for both.

Hi All
I like the fact that Julie-ann (and others) post articles. I delete any that
don't immediately interest me, read those that do and forward on to friends
and my local peace group specific pieces (like the Giuliana Sgrena article
just posted). So please, do keep posting!
It's also great to have an outlet for similar things I come across.
Mediawatch is a very welcome counterbalance to the dominant discourse.
Regards
John
