Why is indymedia (independent media) the only place where you will have heard the news about journalist Brad Will being killed on camera with an open mike in Mexico this weekend? You could hear the screams on the replay I heard on Democracy Now. It was excruciating to hear. Great stuff for our blood thirsty media. Isn't the saying "if it bleeds it leads"?
The footage of the moment was found on Brad's last video tape, recorded even after he was shot in the stomach and killed.
Powerful live journalism.
Brad Will had been reporting for four weeks from the barricades.
The American press was nearly completely silent. Google it.
If the msm (mainstream media - corporation owned and censored) wanted a compelling story about journalists being killed to shut them up, then why did we hear so much about a Russian case a few weeks ago, but NOTHING about Brad Will?
What is going on in Mexico right now is enormous!
Average People, teachers, citizens demonstrating non-violently but raging in the streets, surrounding the police, being arrested or kidnapped and carried away... and torture reports are rampant.
And tellingly, the media in America, where the biggest minority population is now of Hispanic descent... and who might be interested in this compelling Mexican story... the American MSM is curiously silent.
Compare that to the widely reported Russian story.
Why should we care about Russian journalists?
Because we are told to by our propagandists.
Why no coverage of this compelling story?
You tell me.
Brad Will's last report
R.I.P. Brad Will
