            ??GM Rice in Iwate, Japanese Media....??
-----------------------------------------------------------


Citizens Top Genetically Modified Rice in Iwate. Please note that GM food
research is about profits, not starving people in developing countries.
Monsanto makes the weed-killer Round Up, which damages soybeans and ROUND
UP READY soybeans which are so strong that farmers can use ROUNDUP and not
fear damaging their crop. Monsanto wins on two counts. No-one knows if GM
foods are safe, so why are they in such a rush to get us to accept them?

How the Japanese Media Fails the Public and Why Japan is still a threat to
Peace and Democracy in Asia. This article by Asano Kenichi, professor of
Media at Doshisha University and former Kyodo Tsushin reporter sheds light
on the relationship between the media, business and the government and
helps to understand why citizens' movements are weak in this supposedly
advanced country. But he also attacks the U.S. and its military
"occupation" of Japan and how that affects attitudes.

Targeting North Korea is a shocking account of how the U.S. government and
media lied about North Korea in order to justify an eventual attempt to
invade that country. This is extremely important for people in Japan who
are being fooled into believing that the U.S. is here to protect Japan.

Networks Hide the important story of why politicians support medical care
plan benefitting corporations tells how the media keeps away from
mentioning the "embarrassing" connections between the drug companies and
health care bills which hurt people's ability to live healthy and happy
lives. It also mentions how politicians' incomes are affected by their
support of the drug companies, another fact not mentioned by the media.

N.Y. Times Columnist Friedman wrongly attacks Bush protesters for ignoring
same-day bombing tells us how when the media DOES mention protests, which
is ALMOST never, it is to make it seem that anti-war protestors are
terrorist sympathizers.

Speaking of reporters, Actor-Director Tim Robbins, whose new play,
EMBEDDED , opened recently, said that 'vicious attacks on him and his
family (especially his 13-year-old son) after he and Susan Sarandon came
out against the war in the spring motivated him to write the play...Among
other things, Robbins was accused of being a traitor and his appearance at
the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown to honor Bull Durham was
cancelled.'
