Stephen MarshallBlackout in East Timor (1997)
Mainstream media claims that international coverage is expensive and difficult to produce. But in the case of East Timor, a country that experienced savage oppression at the hands of US-backed Indonesian military, there was an unacceptable blanket of silence sustained by our major news outlets. Is this simply a matter of budgetary limitations or are corporate-owned media just protecting their own.
Featuring Danny Schechter (MediaChannel), Noam Chomsky (MIT), Michael Parenti (Empire), Francis Cairncross (The Economist), plus ETAN's Joao dos Santos Rolo and Abe Barreto Soares
