Hate's Hold on Yugoslavia's News
Date: 07 November 1992
As the war of aggression in Bosnia roars on with unchecked fury, the reviled Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic clings to power partly because of his iron-fisted control of the media, which continue to belch forth propaganda in support of his strategy of "ethnic cleansing." Meanwhile his Croatian counterpart, Franjo Tudjman, tightens his grip on the media in order to justify grabbing his own slice of Bosnia and discriminating against thousands of Serbs who still live in Croatia.

MARISSA HALL, the young woman from Richmond, Va., who stood up at the second Presidential debate and asked "How has the national debt personally affected each of your lives?" probably wasn't expecting to become a major campaign figure. But as William Figueroa, the student Dan Quayle coached to spell "potatoe," can attest, celebrity sometimes comes in unexpected ways. After the second debate was over, many Americans hailed Ms. Hall's question as one of the campaign's most illuminating, calling it proof that the political process functions best when the role of the news media is minimized. Others argued that the question itself was wrong-headed -- Ms. Hall seemed not to understand the difference between the recession and the national debt -- and called it one of the best arguments that could be made for the importance of the press.
