MediaBite have just circulated the second of our MediaShots, which addresses the issue of press coverage of the objection to existing plans for Corrib Gas in County Mayo. Titled ‘Gas Gaeilge and the Media’, the timing is appropriate given developments this week and also in the light of how press coverage of this issue seems set to sing from the Shell Oil hymn sheet without demur. Read our analysis here:

This is a very strange story. The relative casualties - seven coalition dead, 300 insurgents dead, suggests that a massacre took place. In the Irish Times it is stated that the Iraqi government originally claimed that the dead were Sunnis.

I haven't managed to find an independent assessment of this story. If anyone can find one then please post a link here.

A genocide is engulfing the people of Gaza while a silence engulfs its bystanders. "Some 1.4 million people, mostly children, are piled up in one of the most densely populated regions of the world, with no freedom of movement, no place to run and no space to hide," wrote the senior UN relief official, Jan Egeland, and Jan Eliasson, then Swedish foreign minister, in Le Figaro. They described people "living in a cage", cut off by land, sea and air, with no reliable power and little water and tortured by hunger and disease and incessant attacks by Israeli troops and planes. read full story / add a comment

Robert Drinan SJ, who was elected to the US Congress on an Anti-War ticket has died. Drinan was elected in 1970, after he beat longtime Democratic Rep. Philip J. Philbin. He became the first member of Congress to call for the impeachment of Richard Nixon for what Drinan viewed as the administration's undeclared war against Cambodia. Drinan was forced to step down from Congress due to pressure from the Vatican.
