Fighting Biased News Coverage - Do It Yourself Using Facebook (FreedomFlotilla)
I've written this post so that we can all do our little bit to loosen the grip the big media distrubtuors hold over news reporting. Everytime I have attended a demonstration in London the news outlets especially the BBC have been incredibly biased on coverage. The last demonstration I went to there were 200,000 people present and most major news stations reported that only 6,000 attended- shamelessly falsifying the information. There is shocking reports that Twitter disabled the Flotilla hastag has sent shivers down my spine.
If you are attending the demonstration tomorrow for Flotilla you should report the news yourself. If people in Iran were able to stop their government from censorship - with their lack of internet/mobile/computer access, people in the west should be able to do the same. It's very simple to do.
