Mumbai: 9/11 again, one person at a time as foretold by fictional webseries
keywords: Mumbai India terrorist attacks
NBC Today Show starts their Thanksgiving day broadcast with the lower thirds graphic “100 killed in…” Let me take a dramatic text pause here for a moment…………………. Killed? Was this an accident like a plane crash or train derailing? No wonder 50 percent of Americans are so morally confused. The correct word here is MURDERED. Four years of majoring in Journalism really paid of for those of you at the alphabet news shows. If you in the TV audience didn’t realize it, the puppets in front of the cameras just read what is given to them. The Executive Producers, Line Producers, Story Editors and Managing Editors all decide what they are going to say. Dan Rather even blamed them when he pushed the fake story of President Bush being AWOL during his National Guard service days. Hey Dan, how’s that lawsuit going over having the right to slander someone and retain your job? But I’ll give NBC some credit. At least they can call a terrorist a terrorist instead of the kinder more sympathetic term of “militant” like most of the other media elite.
But what about those individuals not pulling
down 6 figures spewing stupidly? What
about those underground prophets that always seem to rise up in the midst of
world conflict? It use to be pirated radio or ham radio operators. But today, other means are being used to
wake people up. Some might just pass it
off as entertainment, but the makers of web serials like the one below feel
they have a mission, producing out of their own pockets. Crescent Moon
Street started hitting the web with it’s bi-weekly episodes last month. The parallels to what has happened in Mumbai
are eerie.
