"ABOUT FACE" 28 JUNE

“---- we have the most insidious form of censorship-self-censorship by the
"journalists" within the corporate media. They have learned not to pursue stories
that their editors/owners of the outlet will likely not run...so they simply stop
covering them. This would apply to the lack of coverage of the fact that over one
million Iraqis are dead, in the last five years, as a result of U.S. foreign policy.”
from Dahr Jamail in an interview by JournalismNow. The main stream media is
not doing their job in reporting the realities of war in Iraq or Afghanistan. “For
example,” States Jamail, “when we have weapons manufacturers funding and/or
owning a media outlet, like NBC being owned by GE, it doesn't exactly behoove
GE to have a national television network airing footage of what happens when
their products destroy human beings.” The country of Iraq has been destroyed
and we have left millions of tons of “Depleted Uranium” strewn over the
landscape. We have totally destroyed one of the most advanced health care
systems in the world. Over one million innocent men, women and children have
died. No one in the corporate media has really covered these stories. Why
not?!? What are the responsibilities of the journalist who cover war? Are they
responsible to the public they serve or to their conservative bosses? If the media
had been honest and reported on the true realities and issues in Iraq and
Afghanistan would the wars be over now?

In late 2003, weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on
the realities of the war in Iraq for the Iraqi people and US soldiers, Dahr Jamail
went to Iraq to report on the war himself. His dispatches were quickly
recognized as an important media resource. We will be talking to Dahr Jamail
this week on About Face. Come join us in the discussion of responsible
journalistic reporting and his book “Beyond the Green Zone”.

Listen to “About Face” with your host, Dennis Stout, Mark Fleming and John
