[Imc] two-faced mass media

[Gotsch Tim]

Hi all.  In case you haven't heard, the major media
networks will not be airing footage of Osama bin Laden
from the Al-Jazeera news service in Qatar.  This flies
in the face of a story I ran across at
http://news.excite.com/news/r/011012/05/television-aljazeera
 I wonder how execs at mass media networks can live
with themselves?  Also, regarding the quashing of bin
Laden/Al-Jazeera footage--I checked the WTO site just
now.  It appears as if the WTO Ministerial Conference
on November 9-13 is still on.  Funny how Qatar has
become a mecca (pun intended) of activity.  Peace.
