This is the nascent Mainstream Media Shenanigans ping list. Please freepmail me to be added or dropped.
Please note this will likely become a high-volume list.
Also feel free to ping me if you come across a thread you would think worthy of the ping list. I can't catch them all!

By shenanigans, do you also mean non-reporting? Like:

"closure of more than 90 newspapers in the past three years and the imprisonment of dozens of writers and activists in mostly closed trials without jury" (Iran)

"3 more Iranian Journalists were arrested > 21 Total now."
(actually I think the arrest of an editor of a newspaper that was shut down 2 yrs ago wasn't added to this number. Happened a few days ago.)

"There has been a series of brutal violations of journalists' rights, which must be stopped," said Aidan White, IFJ General Secretary."(Itn'l Fed. Journalists)7/11/03

If you aren't familiar with these stories, blame it on the Mainstream Media .
