PDF flyers of the Media Ownership Hearing at Northwestern next week have been added to the FCC page; see the link on the left-hand side.

Also, I am happy to report that Moveon.org has decided to set its sights on the major news media. They report

American media outlets have chosen to stifle or simply not show the most terrible and saddening aspects of this war. They are reluctant to air the voices of critics who are raising important questions about its effectiveness and purpose. And they appear to have acceded to the Bush Administration's desire to black out pictures or footage of civilian casualties.

Now more than ever, it's important that the media report the full story, unvarnished and unspun. But all we see on TV are retired military officers and Administration officials narrating a clean and precise war that bears little resemblance to the chaos, bloodshed, and tragedy on the ground.
