JOIN THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
CENSORSHIP
* * * * *
Mass media is involved in a dangerous practice of censoring
the voices of reason and decency in America. They choose, instead, to
carry only the comments of those individuals whose primary objective is to
incite and encourage division--because, according to them "it sells
newspapers."
This kind of monopoly on
what is "news that's fit to print" is dangerous and contrary to the
American ideal of fairness, accuracy and equal access. It is a gross
distortion and abuse of the spirit and intent of the 1st amendment of the
United States Constitution which guarantees all Americans the
"Freedom of Speech". If allowed to go un-challenged, the
effect that this kind of invidious censorship can have on our country
would be devastating.
CORE and our National
Chairman, Roy Innis, have been victims of this censorship. Press
releases and statements we make on critical issues, such as racial harmony
and tolerance, are ignored by the media. Instead, they choose to
exclusively carry the race baiters and haters who seek to fan the fires
with abusive and irresponsible rhetoric. This kind of exclusive
access to the mass media gives the world the impression that all in our
community think their way when just the opposite is true.
CORE has
begun a campaign to break the media's censorship on the voices of reason
in Black America. Join us by sending an e-mail message to the press.
