What happens when a reporter or writer 'makes up' facts? In recent years, respect for corporate media has plummeted, in part because of revelations that reporters have falsified parts or the entire body of articles.
This has happened at the New Republic, the New York Times, USA Today and others. In several cases, the reporters in question were fired. As well, apologies to the readers appeared, along with steps to prevent recurrences. What happens when fiction appears as fact at Portland Indymedia?

Found this great essay at Manuel Valenzuela's new blog which contains every damn essay he's ever written. This guy is prolific, and very, very good. Pay the blog a visit, click through the archives, read a couple of articles. Good for the soul. This essay speaks to the lunacy of nations as entities, of divisions of peoples, and of human future.

Nazi's are coming to Portland this weekend!
by Martin Sieff, UPI Senior News Analyst
17 Aug 2005 Published August 15, 2005 WASHINGTON -- It is "Black August" for American soldiers in iraq. Devastating improvements in shaped charges and multiple-piled mines used by Sunni Muslim insurgents there have enabled them to inflict massive casualties on U.S. forces.
Heavy recruitment is taking place at working class high schools in Portland. Parents, students and teachers are organizing to get the recruiters out.

"The present economic orders are in great disorder. A few women and men have the goal of leaping over all the rules of the past economic order and only acting arbitrarily. They misuse their property and illegitimately appropriate the property of others.."
I just wrote this op-ed to coincide with the so-called "disengagement" from the Gaza Strip by Israel. I am a Portlander who has been to Palestine several times, and am fed up with the media coverage of the issue in this country. I hope this article will give you a little more insight into this issue than CNN or the corporate news has been doing in their cheerleading for Israel this week.
Proposed amendment to the state constitution would declare health care a right and require state legislature to extend medical insurance coverage to all by 2009. Volunteers are needed to gather petition signatures to put this on the ballot in 2006.
![]() The importance of this week's revelation that an Army intelligence unit was tracking Mohamed Atta's movements in the U.S. during 1999 and 2000 is so mind-bogglingly massive that it seems nobody quite gets it yet... You've been hearing it for three years in articles in the MadCowMorningNews, and in "Welcome to TerrorLand." Now you can hear it from an elite Army intelligence unit, one which obviously has several patriots with very large cojones. Their testimony is clear and explicit and only one conclusion can be drawn from it... The FBI has been telling a massive lie to the 9.11 Commission and the American people, a lie whose result has been to halt in its tracks, as a Commission spokesman freely admitted on Thursday, the investigation into the murder of almost 3000 people. People go to jail for that sort of thing, don't they? God willing, we may be about to find out.
Some thoughts that crossed my mind after hearing Cindy Sheehan speak
"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
- Was said by....? Or how about: "You can support the troops but not the president." -By...?
Around 3:30 i was buying a trimet pass in Pioneer Square when I noticed a bunch of people standing around with red tape over their mouthes with the word "life" written on them. Most had their eyes closed; one was listening to music, all were swaying back and forth. Tape-over-the-mouth is a commonly used tactic by activists when they feel their rights are being trampled on. I wanted to know what was going on, and, if it was a cause I liked, join in.
Is the bad press deserved?
An opportunity to join with others interested in Media Reform and take action.
A giant octopus put in general population kills 3' to 4' sharks in a public aquarium. In recent years, video evidence of Orca killing large great white sharks has been documented. Such evidence would seem to suggest the the sharks title as the apex preditor of the oceans is not a hallmark itself.
So apparently the Bush-war supporters are taking to destroying memorials of soldiers who have died in Iraq. I guess it's fine to "support the troops" as long as you don't have to be reminded that they're dying for an agenda not supported by the people of the United States. --tc
Frank Rich of the New York Times is one of a handful of columnists for the major daily newspapers in the United States who exhibit intelligence and compassion. He makes no secret of his loathing for the war in Iraq—a sentiment entirely to his credit and rare in the media. And he recognizes that the Bush administration, with its combination of criminality and recklessness, represents something qualitatively new and troubling in American political life.

On August 10, 2005, a mother and daughter were violently taken into custody by at least seven Portland Oregon cops with no warrant. The mother, Lynnae Lake, did not resist arrest, but the cops beat the daylights out of her. The cops were reminded of their Constitutional responsibility in making an arrest, and replied "We don't need a warrant and we don't have to give her her rights".

a new and much better translation of Debord's dark classic
I've had many reasons to dislike the Portland police bureau and its minions in blue (and black) in recent years. I've watched unbelievable atrocities committed by portland police officers against unarmed demonstrators, for example, and have reeled at stories of officers gunning down unarmed motorists and people in mental hospitals. They even pepper sprayed babies. So it's with a pleasant sense of surprise that I offer the following anecdote.
October 27, 2003 should have been a banner day for Edwin Wilson. He had just had a 20 year old conviction overturned that would have kept him in federal prison for the rest of his life.One would expect that he'd be a free man, especially after the scolding that Judge Hughes dished out to the federal prosecution team, stating in print that they lied - that they lied systematically - with full approval of their superiors.

how to remain engaged in activism
![]() - On June 29th, the United States Northern Command (NORTHCOM) posted news of a nuclear terrorism drill on its website: "Here?s the scenario?A seafaring vessel transporting a 10-kiloton nuclear warhead makes its way into a port off the coast of Charleston, S.C. Terrorists aboard the ship attempt to smuggle the warhead off the ship to detonate it." It went on to say that "Sudden Response 05 will take place this August on Fort Monroe and will be carried out as an internal command post exercise. The exercise is intended to train the JTF-CS staff to plan and execute Consequence Management operations in support of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV?s response to a nuclear detonation." As Alex Jones of infowars.com and others have pointed out, terror "drills" are now known to be the favorite "cover story" for New World Order terrorist operations, as evidenced by the eerily synchronous terrorism drills happening on both 9/11 and 7/7.
![]() - Extreme police violence threaten's activists lives - Police stand by watching as workers beat up activists - 9 arrests, including 1 felony charge, everyone now bailed out - Funding support desperately needed - Timeline of all events included below
in a world of increasing conflict and violent war, of famine, poverty, and reaction- the articles on this website that are continually discussed are: animals, bike helmets, and talking about indy-media. This is concerning. Events are speeding up on a world scale, another war is on the horizon, and still with the animals and bike helmets. Should we not make some kind of priority in our activism?

It was bad enough when publishers and editors demanded that stories exhibit a straght-jacket balance that gave equal weight to lying with truthtelling. Now editors are going for a news "mix" that balances the politics of various stories in the days news "package." -----------
