THE PRISM

MEDIA OVERSIGHT OF THE MONTH

(or should we say of the last six years):

 

S ince the end of the valiant "liberation" of Kuwait from the evil Iraqis in 1991, over 1,000,000 of the wicked ones (Iraqi civilians) have been killed slowly and painfully by the heroic, oil-imperialist embargo. Through lack of sanitation, lack of nourishment, and lack of medical supplies-all forbidden by our corporately-sponsored, "developed democracy" and its allies-our government is now competing with such visionaries and saviors as Pol Pot. Over 700,000 of the dead Iraqis were children. But never fear! The attrition continues, and within six more years we can dispense with a million more of these dangerous heathens. It makes us all proud, we are sure, and we wonder why the mainstream media, with its close attention to dead dogs and dead celebrities, can't entertain us with more accounts of this grim Mesopotamian feast of flies.
