Mental Notes: March 2003

HONG KONG–Required reading and listening: BBC News How ’embedded’ reporters are handling the war; The Independant The uprising that wasn’t, mythical chemical weapons and other items of ‘breaking news’; The Smoke Hammer Bushwacked – the plunderphonics here is just ace; The Fire This Time audio files – ‘… a guide to the language of mass media propaganda’; lighter moment in the form of Brenda and Eddy from a 1997 rant (thanks Al Humphry!).
