General Media Issues

The action was covered by the Stanford Daily on Friday, October 6, 2000.



Summit in Silicon Valley

After our action during the MSNBC Summit in Silicon Valley (2/27/00), we received coverage in the Stanford Daily and MSNBC On-line. Both articles had errors and misconstruals, which are more likely due to deadline pressure and poor fact-checking (certainly in the Daily's case) than any calculated bias. However, Think! still finds these errors suspicious, and looks forward to a time when all of our actions will be misrepresented by "the media".

The most glaring error appeared in MSNBC's coverage (of its own event), which cited the Think! "bullhorn-toting guerilla protester" as calling the onstage CEOs "idiots". In fact, as anyone in the auditorium who heard could attest to, the "guerilla protester" referred to them as "panelists".



Spire Magazine

New avant-garde-ish magazine Spire, whose first issue hit campus Spring Quarter 2000, featured Think in a two page article. Misspelling and misquotes aside, they presented a fair portrayal of our strengths and weaknesses.
