> For the past few years, the mainstream media have

> marched in lockstep with

> the Bush administration. Now it's time to march on

> the media.

>

> Whether the issue is the Iraq war, the 2000 Florida

> recount, the Patriot

> Act or post- 9/11 detentions, the mainstream media

> have behaved more like

> lapdogs than watchdogs. We come to challenge their

> domination of the

> public discourse and to celebrate what the people of

> the world are

> achieving through new independent media based on

> responsibility and a

> commitment to justice.

>

> Organized by FAIR, Paper Tiger TV and other media

> activists, the march

> will be simulcast on WBAI 99.5 FM, New York's

> Pacifica station. Bring a

> radio so you can be sure to hear the lineup of great

> speakers, emceed by
