The Guardian looks closely at how bloggers covered the aftermath of the Rachel Corrie story, finding an unsavory pile-on in the echo chamber. Cointelpro Tool takes on this line of reasoning and finds that it echoes the Indymedia line.

One response to “Guardian on bloggers and Rachel Corrie’s reputation.”
A poem for Rache.
[Glinda]
Come out, come out, wherever you are and meet the young lady, who fell from a star.
She fell from the sky, she fell very far and Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
[Munchkins]
Kansas, she says, is the name of the star.
[Glinda]
She brings you good news. Or haven’t you heard?
When she fell out of Kansas
A miracle occurred.
[Dorothy]
It really was no miracle. What happened was just this.
The wind began to switch – the house to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch.
Just then the Witch – to satisfy an itch went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch.
[Munchkins]
And oh, what happened then was rich.
*The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch.
It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
*The house began to pitch. The kitchen took a slitch.
It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch,
Which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch.
Who began to twitch and was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the Wicked Witch.
[Munchkin #1]
We thank you very sweetly, for doing it so neatly.
[Munchkin #2]
You’ve killed her so completely, that we thank you very sweetly.
[Glinda]
Let the joyous news be spread, The Wicked Old Witch at last is dead!
