“If
you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained
only for such time as the State can shield the people from the
political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus
becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to
repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus
by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Joseph Goebbels
“I just want you to know that,
when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace.” G.W.Bush
"Doublethink
means the power of holding two contradictory
beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them".
George Orwell
We Need Your Input!
For this
section of the site to be successful we really need your input. You can get in touch via the
forum if you would like articles posted on this page with regard to the
English/Japanese media. The idea is that via the forum we'll be able to
pressurize mainstream media outlets in Japan into reporting news more
responsibly a la Medialens in the UK. This page will be used for "Media
Action Announcements" whereby a particular news provider will be
highlighted and critiqued and their contact details will be displayed
for you to write to them with your observations and questions. Without you it's
nothing!
Try to choose articles
that are available in both English and Japanese, so that our Japanese
participants can get involved in media action too. For info in
Japanese, please go to the Japanese page..
