How you can help -
You can send a donation
to help fund this important work. The forces of dishonesty are
well-financed. The forces of truth have intelligence,
decency and hard-working volunteers.
You can make
interviews happen.
Your donations pay the long distance and overseas phone
charges for stories that otherwise could never be told.
- "Bombed
because we refuse to be slaves."
Our interviews with Greg Elich challenge the
media on what NATO bombings did to Yugoslavia,
whether the bombing of civilian targets was
accidental, how Yugoslavs feel about their
government. (First interview is now posted, top
of home page; second interview to be posted later
this week)
- "Driven
from Kosovo: Jewish Leader Sees NATO Complicity"
Our first interview with Cedda Prlincevic,
President of the Jewish community in Pristina
(Kosovo), took several hours on the phone to
Belgrade during August. It is an eye-opener. We
hope you will circulate it widely. Other very
important discussions with Mr. Prlincevic are
being transcribed.
- We're preparing
other interviews including one with a Kosovo
resident who worked as a translator for Western
reporters and an Albanian anti-secessionist who,
like Mr. Prlincevic, was driven from Kosovo by
the KLA - with NATO's complicity.
Unrehearsed discussions
are best because people do their best talking
off-the-cuff as opposed to writing answers to written
questions. Your donations will keep us talking.
Computer
Equipment Our
little office has one computer. We'd be much more
efficient with another desktop and an up-to-date laptop
for work on the road.
Internet
expenses
More
"hits" means more people reached, which is what
we're trying to accomplish - to help people understand
what's wrong with this country's foreign policy. Already
we are reaching thousands of people a day. That means
higher Internet bills. Also - though website work is now
performed on a volunteer basis, the initial design and
Website contruction was done commercially. We need help
to pay these costs.
Help Publish
our Book Analyzing Media Coverage of the War Against
Serbia
Our
forthcoming book, All the News that
Fits: How the Media Covered the Bombing of Serbia
applies commonsense standards to the media. We look for
patterns of misreporting, like uncritically accepting
testimony from suspect sources, burying 'undesirable'
news where it won't be read, leaving out the other side
of the story, using words that prejudice perception.
All the News will
be published as soon as it is possible, and your donation
can speed up the process. Our hope is that after reading
this book people will find it easier to distinguish news
from pro-NATO info-hustle.
Every
contribution helps, no matter how big or how small
