From Wired's Threat Level blog:
In an e-mail blast, the group's founder Robert Greenwald asks supporters to sign a petition that he says he plans on sending to news rooms chiefs. He wants the rest of the media to stop following Fox's lead.
This video is the latest in a series that Brave New Films has made over the past few months. The series is called Fox Attacks!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Slainte!

sorry, I did not actually read your blog to ensure that you are currently in Ghana, but you probably know someone who is, so here goes...
Hello, I am writing to implore you and/or your journalist colleagues to travel to Buduburam Refugee Camp outside of Accra to report on current events. I am certain that with your contacts and education, you probably know more about these events than I can gather from internet friendly USA. Brief background: hundreds of women and child refugees have been staging a "sit in" for many weeks to call for increased repatriation funds or 3rd country resettlement (both are unrealistic goals in my opinion). It is my understanding that they have not heard from anyone representing the UNHCR to mediate a compromise and give them a voice in their future. Early in the am on March 17, 2008 Ghanaian police arrested hundreds of these peaceful protesters for violation of Ghanaian law. There is still no sign of UNHCR getting involved. Now the deputy interior minister of Ghana is threatening immediate deportation for these hundreds of mothers and grandmothers. I fear that tensions on camp could escalate with a dire outcome. This story needs immediate, objective, and thorough coverage. I have no idea where to begin contacting representatives and human rights orgs. I am counting on you to use your skills and interests to help raise awareness of this issue.
Thank you for your time. I cannot wait to explore your blog and read all of your interesting work!
