[R-G] Canuck Media Monitor (CMM)

[Anthony Fenton]

The Canuck Media Monitor (CMM) was inspired by the work of FAIR and  
Medialens.  CMM aims to raise awareness of the systemic way the  
Canadian corporate media filters news and analysis to promote  
destructive elite objectives. CMM seeks to promote open, rational  
public debate between readers and media workers (journalists and  
editors) and encourages readers to not to be passive media consumers.  
With sufficient participation CMM may prompt small, positive change in  
the way the Canadian corporate media operates. However, CMM's much  
more important objective is to contribute to the growing alternatives  
to the corporate media.

CMM was established by Joe Emersberger, an engineer and Canadian Auto  
Worker Union (CAW) member, who lives and works in Windsor, Ontario.  
Articles of his have been posted online on Znet, Narco News,  
HaitiAnalysis, Counterpunch and Green Left Weekly.

Latest CMM Alert: No Contrition from the Canadian Press over Haiti


On February 29, 2004, Haiti’s democratically elected government under  
Jean Bertrand Aristide was overthrown in a coup strongly backed by  
Canada. Unsurprisingly, the coup led to 4000 political killings in the  
two year period that followed according to a scientific survey  
published in the Lancet medical journal. [1] Haiti's jails were also  
filled with political prisoners. Overwhelmingly, the perpetrators of  
these crimes were Canada's allies in Haiti. Today the perpetrators  
remain not only at large, but on the job with the Haitian police, the  
judiciary and UN "peacekeepers" (MINUSTAH). The fifth year anniversary  
of the coup passed with no sign of contrition, or even awareness, in  
the Canadian press about the lethal propaganda it has spread about  
Haiti.
