Cockburn, Alexander | June 23, 2003 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the June 2, 2003 ruling of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that allows corporate media network giants to increase their domination of the media market. The author discussed how intelligence services today succumb to political bullying in terms of verifying whether weapons of mass destruction (WMD) do exist in Iraq, while the press is able to locate evidence that all WMDs had been destroyed and that Saddam Hussein had no alliance with Islamic group Al Qaeda.
