With Internet access limited, state-controlled newspapers churned out the junta’s version of the national crisis, suppressing stories of wide-scale arrests.

Myanmar’s military junta stepped up its propaganda machine yesterday, calling foreign critics "liars" and filling state-controlled media with positive spin of the crushing blow it dealt to pro-democracy advocates. I guess we know that stuff from all totalitarian regimes already, it’s always the same with them.

Newspapers made no mention of Buddhist monks being detained or got killed for their role in protests, or of soldiers, dragging people from their homes in nighttime raids. No, this has never happened they wanna make us believe.

Instead, coverage was devoted to pro-government rallies that have been held in stadiums around the country by Soldiers and their families(well, they have to attend, or they get killed also, like the monks)in recent days.

What the government media don’t tells us also is, that a staff member of the United Nations Development Program got arrested with her husband and her brother-in-law. But okay, those have already been released, so maybe they just saw no reason to tell the people.

Help the people of Burma! Please join the campaign.
