message from activists going to Prague....

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!!!!
In the light of likely news manipulation and misrepresentation of
demonstrators by the corporate mass media,
might we see some of those people staying home over S26 doing a few 'rapid
rebuttals' of the demonising bullshit that is already being produced?
Using their own contacts and indymedia.org etc. for the straighter story,
people might not only write to newspaper editors,
get on phone ins, do 'right to reply' etc. with the facts and reasons for
S26, but even - if they deem it necessary - 'disrupt the flow' of capitalist
propaganda by a little judicious picketing of the worst offenders...?
I hear this tactic was used with a New York newspaper that falsely
claimed activists in Seattle (N30) had used Molotov cocktails... when
protesters promptly turned up at the paper's offices a public retraction
soon followed.
