For example here's a story from today's Independent, Courtesy of the Associated Press. The title: "Jesse Jackson calls Oregon police shooting an execution." Hat tip to my buddy Nish in London, for the link.

people, you can do what a lot of us so-called "activists" are doing. we are putting together a one-page FACT SHEET and are setting up our computers to mine all the newspapers e-mail addresses in Europe, Canada, and former dependencies of England with clear intent to send out "press releases".
It's a crap shoot, and we know it. BUT, all it takes is a few to pick up on it, and the "story" goes so far beyond these local idiot's capacity to handle...they'll go into a total meltdown.
That's the precise object....give 'em BAD PRESS, impact their local ECONOMY and harm their "image" by telling the truth till they "wake up" and finally GET IT!
