Dear HCN,
Just wanted to
let you know what a great article I thought the essay “Fenced
out of Bush’s gated empire” by Mary Sojourner was (HCN,
11/11/02: Fenced out of Bush’s gated empire). With so
much pressure being put on publishers to only report that which is
favorable for the ruling establishment and their political causes,
it is so refreshing to read this kind of article. The control
of the media, nowadays, is so subtle and does not tend to use the
old-fashioned “censorship,” but rather strong financial
pressure and, above all, omitting any reference to that which the
establishment does not want to hear. So my compliments both to
your staff and Ms. Sojourner.
