Ed:Here are two news reports on this ban on photographs:http://www.worldrevolution.org/article/1018http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,895124,00.htmlThis ban on photos of dead returning soldiers gives an example of
how the US media is completely controlled. The news of this is
reported on the LONDON GUARDIAN website, but only on a small
independent website here in the USA. While this was said to be
reported in the Washington Post, it is no longer there.The censoring of news in the USA it has spawned a yearly
compendium of collected stories under the title CENSORED 2003 (
or whatever year it happens to be). This has also been the focus of
websites such as THE SMOKING GUN, which is operated by the
COURT-TV cable legal news channel and THE MEMORY HOLE,
operated by Russ Kick, an editor of the VILLAGE VOICE newspaper.Two tactics that news media constantly use are the following:a) putting the news article in a single edition of a paper, where it
disappears by the next edition of that paper.b) putting the inflammatory invective on page one, and run the
retraction in a small announcement in the classified ad section. You may have noticed over the years that they stick the lawsuit
notices in the back pages, where it might fulfill a legal reporting
requirement, but it is seen by nowhere near as many people when it
appears in the wanted ads, as it does when it appears in the front
section of the paper.Yes Dan, the GUARDIAN article refers to early 1992 as the
timeframe for this to have been introduced. Good call.KDB = Buffalo, NY USA
