[Peace-discuss] Fw: [Prairiegreens] Dr. Norman Finkelstein in Champaign

[unionyes]

This is from a local Greek American activist.

Coverage in Europe ( especially outside of the UK ) is SIGNIFICANTLY more 
objective than the " Iron Curtain " of the U.S. corporate media here in the 
U.S.

What is a little known fact for most Americans is that the Europeans and 
many others throughout the world can access U.S. media easily, but media 
from the rest of the world is often extremely difficult to access if you 
either do not have a PC or even know that other media in the world exists or 
where to find it.
