Be A Witness

I suppose we in the blog world are more politically aware than others, so probably everyone reading this is aware there is a genocide going on in the Darfur region of the Sudan.

A group called Be A Witness has compiled statistics and the amount of coverage this atrocity has gotten on the major networks combined amounts to about one minute of air time per hundred thousand people killed.

To try to get the word out, this group has created a video, which you can watch at:

Interestingly, ABC, CBS and NBC have all refused to air the ad in Washington DC. So not only is this not getting coverage, you can’t even BUY airtime to get the word out.

Check out the video. It’s worth noting what we are and are not being told in our news about what’s going on on our planet.
