Lynch v Corrie



What, did you forget who Rachel Corrie is already? Here's are two hints: Palestine. Bulldozer.



Fellow Canuck Naomi Klein has written a "compare & contrast" piece for the Guardian, and it's some good writing about some shocking spin.



And while you're getting your Lynch fix, have a peek at Tom's latest discussion of the blog event of the summer. Seriously, other that to prove that the US military is in the business of PR (as well as killing and exploding stuff and what-not), why is this story interesting? And didn't we already know that anyway? I'm talking to you, Mr. Embedded Reporter!



(Yes, I acknowledge that the Adventure of Jessica Lynch is a particularly gratuitious example of the disconnect between spin and reality, but there's so many others. They all take us one step closer to the Matrix, feeding our bodies while our brains enjoy the wild fantasies concocted by our evil overlords to keep us quiet.)
