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".
