MSNBC's Banfield: Media filtered realities of war 04/24/03 '"We didn't see what happen when Marines fired M-16s," Banfield said during a Landon lecture appearance today at Kansas State University. "We didn't see what happened after mortars landed, only the puff of smoke. There were horrors that were completely left out of this war. So was this journalism? Or was this coverage?"
On the other hand, she said, many U.S. television viewers were treated to a non-stop flow of images presented by "cable news operators who wrap themselves in the American flag and go after a certain target demographic."
"It was a grand and glorious picture that had a lot of people watching," Banfield said, "and a lot of advertisers excited about cable TV news. But it wasn't journalism, because I'm not sure Americans are hesitant to do this again -- to fight another war, because it looked to them like a courageous and terrific endeavor."' Ashleigh Banfield was born in Canada.

KODAK: Voices from the Deeps - Print Friendly Version '"What stands out for me," says Walker "is the way in which the human spirit prevails amongst these men through their songs, as their way of life is broken up. Now, all that is left of a once-thriving industrial community is a choir of former coal miners who won't let you forget what it meant to be a miner."
"Men of the Deeps", a one-hour television film, is due to be broadcast by CTV in early 2003.'This is the film we saw this evening at The Bloor.
