THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM
Speeches and interviews with a few In what's being called the largest protest at a political convention in U.S. history an estimated 500,000 opponents of President Bush took to the streets of midtown Manhattan on Aug. 29, the day before the start of the Republican National Convention in New York City. Between The Lines' Scott Harris was there and files this report. Related links:
 Imagine Festival Combines Art and Politics in Cultural Counterpoint to GOP Convention
Interview with Chris Wangro,
The festival, which featured artists such as Yoko Ono, comedian Margaret Cho, actor Richard Gere, playwright Tony Kushner, and musician Lou Reed, promoted the themes of freedom, community, democracy, justice, prosperity and future. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Chris Wangro, co-founder and co-executive producer of the festival, before a kick-off celebration at a nightclub on Aug. 28. Wangro is the former director of special events for the New York City Parks Dept, and an organizer of massive public events such as the papal mass in Central Park. He says this arts festival is meant to engage participants, encouraging them to think and to dialogue with their neighbors. Visit the group's website at www.imagine04.org
Big Media's Coverage of U.S. Politics Influenced by their Corporate Agenda
Interview with journalist and filmmaker Danny Schechter,
But during the convention, many of the most influential and powerful controversial figures in the White House and Republican congressional leadership remained out of sight. In their place were Republican moderates such as New York Gov. George Pataki, Arizona Sen. John McCain and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger who attempted to convince swing voters in battleground states to support President Bush. As a sign of how politicians will play on the emotions of fearful voters this year, former New York Mayor Rudolf Giuliani opened the convention by exploiting the memory of the Sept. 11 attacks and the thousands who died to promote Bush's re-election. It will be largely left to the media to interpret and expose the GOP's extreme makeover seen by millions of Americans viewing the convention through the lens of abbreviated network and cable TV coverage. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with author and filmmaker Danny Schechter of MediaChannel.org, who examines the media's coverage of the Republican convention and the hundreds of thousands of protesters who confronted them in New York City. Danny Schechter's latest film, "Weapons of Mass Deception," examines the media's coverage of the Iraq War. See a trailer of the documentary at www.wmdTheFilm.com Related links:
