Silencing the Violence of War |

Mainstream media have blood on their hands. That is one lesson we can draw from official apologies for pre-Iraq War coverage, beginning with the New York Times’s public confession in May 2004. Typically, these “media culpas” confessed being overly credulous in accepting the Bush administration’s rationale for war. They attributed mistakes to good-intentioned professionalism and innocent oversight, but not systemic or individual failures. (To their increasing embarrassment, the Times’s apology conveniently failed to note Judith Miller’s byline on four of the six articles singled out as seriously flawed). Perhaps media elites assumed that tepid apologies and strategic ambiguity would inoculate them against further scrutiny. As passive consumers of news, we’d accept that there’s nothing to see here; better to move along, keep quiet and go shopping. Media have apologized and we can rest assured that now they’re getting it right.
Of course, this doesn’t stand up to a nanosecond of scrutiny. There is now little doubt that media helped sell an illegal war –– for which they have yet to come clean –– but ongoing coverage continues to normalize and even glorify barbaric aspects of war by daily serving up an antiseptic version of events in Iraq. |

UIUC's Board of Trustees (BOT) have appealed the NCAA mascot ruling. Urgent action is needed to encourage the NCAA to stand by their decision and pressure the BOT to action.
Dear community members,
The letter below is included to urge you to make some time and respond directly to the NCAA regarding the university’s appeal of the mascot ruling. UIUC’s Native American House’s administration, faculty and students have all taken strong stances against the BOT’s stalling antics and lack of desire to gain input from the American Indian community on this issue... |

The Incorporation of Savoy within the Mass Transit District |
by John Hilty
Email: jhilty (nospam) shout.net |
16 Oct 2005
|
|
Various reasons are presented why Savoy should be incorporated within the Mass Transit District (MTD).
Opponents to incorporation complain about the imposition
of higher taxes to fund MTD services – as though the residents of Savoy
will be shouldering an unfair burden of taxes for services that they don't
need. If anything, exactly the opposite is true – residents of Savoy are
already paying LESS than their fair share of local taxes. |
