Statement to the "Media"

Dear Self-Proclaimed Media,

We, a number of the self-proclaimed anarchists (as you so delicately refer to us every time), are growing a bit weary of your refusal to honestly report the offenses perpetrated by groups of self-proclaimed law enforcement. As our friends are gassed, beaten, and arrested, all you publish are repetitive statements from self-proclaimed Republicans. The mindless babble of a few dozen, it seems, is more important to you than the passionate actions of thousands. This, all you self-proclaimed journalists and reporters, is horrifically irresponsible, as is your insistence on qualifying any perspective which disagrees with you as "self-described" or "self-proclaimed" - through the above actions, you are not only complicit in the existence of a hegemonic police state, but you are actively furthering it. The self-proclaimed politicians rely on you to allow them and their lower-level apparatuses to operate with impunity, and you indulge them every step of the way.

Until you acknowledge the non-ruling class to be legitimate human beings with legitimate perspectives, you will never be legitimate media. You will continue to be a self-proclaimed joke.

love,
an anarchist, without qualifiers or quotation marks.
