20 years ago, the Vietnam protests were just dying down. the movie industry which has been one of the more vocal anti-war centers (except in making violent war movies which make money) was still somewhat respectful of the USG.
Was the media industry really anti-war, or just anti-Nixon? When Lyndon Johnson sent the troops to 'Nam, the media first supported him. When Nixon g elected, against the media's wishes, the media attacked him over everything was doing, including the war, just like they attacked Reagan and Bush. I'm usure if Nixon had pulled out completely in '69, the media would have been pro-war. They're whores, like Declan McCulough.
The movie industry is not the same thing as the media. Observe the following: ------------------------------------------------- | | | Media ______________ | | |movie | | | | industry | | | |______________| | |_________________________________________________|
Nice ASCII art, Pedro. Are you the one contributing the 2 ASCII pictures of Timmy Mayonaise / day?

Try to concentrate when you read the next paragraph. I know it's hard for a "cypher punk" to think abstractly, but if you try real hard, and think about it for a long time, you might get it. THE MOVIE INDUSTRY, THE ADVERTIZING INDUSTRY, THE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHING INDUSTRY, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY, THE BROADCAST RADIO INDUSTRY, THE CABLE TV INDUSTRY, ETC, ARE ALL PARTS OF THE (ALWAYS HIGHLY CONCENTRATED) MEDIA INDUSTRY. IF THE RICH MOTHERFUCKERS WHO OWN THE BIG MEDIA COMPANIES HAPPEN TO BE PRO-MCGOVERN AND ANTI-WAR, THEN THE WHOLE MEDIA INDUSTRY BECOMES PRO-MCGOVERN AND ANTI-WAR, AND THE PARTS OF THE WHOLE (LIKE THE MOVIE INDUSTRY IN YOUR PICTURE ABOVE) TOO BECOME PRO-MCGOVERN AND ANTI-WAR. Hmm... Is it too much to expect a "cypher punk" to understand that a part of the whole sometimes inherits some of the properties of the whole? Probably.
Dr. Grubor is a Viet Nam vet. I have great respect for him.
What did he do there? Media Relations? That would explain a lot of things
Dr. Grubor invented the whole Internet while in Viet Nam. You better show some gratitude, punk. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
