Media lies will mean more people will die: "LA Timesmen Sam Enriquez and Carlos Martinez Wage a Knowingly False Smear Campaign Against Political Prisoner Ignacio Del Valle," by Al Giordano. A powerful indictment of lazy corporate journalism, endangering the defense of the lives, land, and livelihood of the people of San Salvedor Atenco.

The yet-to-be-determined body count of those killed, disappeared, beaten, raped and imprisoned from the three-day police riot and house-to-house round-up of dissidents in and near San Salvador Atenco, Mexico, included the assassination, last Wednesday, of a 14-year-old boy.

First LA Times lie was that the boy was killed by protesting townspeople, when in fact death came from a police bullet. Get all the facts.
