First edition, we were 200 and had some media attention, some
nice articles in national press mostly
Flemish. Second edition we were close to 500
and had no (officials) media attention at
all.
This Friday at noon we were "only" 150 at
first gathering but this time lot of media
came to us,
guess why…
Till now already two short news on
national television (@9min54sec) and on
regional channel reported.
Some will say this won't help the movement
image (are they blind?), others will notice
the news and comments were short but clear
and respectful.
And both will have to admit that at least
this time they were forced to report that
some do ask for an independent investigation
and the end of the war and fear politics …Never
forget humour is a very efficient medium and
weapon!
Also those who participate to those gatherings or mobilization
know how much those 3 minutes of the "Naked
Truth Operation", were only short 3 minutes
from hours of discussions, meeting, contacts,
months of information or flyer distribution,
years of an ongoing work…
This was only the funny-media-tramp an it
worked fine!
The most important was all you won't see on
TV: the large, constructive
and interesting discussion we had together
and specially with all the journalists that
came as their boss asked them to go and
catch the "Naked Truthers".
All the contact we made, connection, new projects, the
information and street education, all the
flyers gave to people, the rap and DJ
performance we enjoyed, etc., etc.
For all this we want to send you a big
THANKS!
More reports and pics soon later...
