Kosovo Killing Fields?
John Pilger, New Statesman November 21, 1999 Kosovo is today's slow news. Slow news is news that is ignored or minimised. It is a highly effective, though generally unrecognised, form of censorship in democracies. The expulsion and terrorising of 240,000 Serbs and other minorities from Kosovo since Nato took charge is of little media interest. The Society for Endangered People says 90,000 Gypsies have been forced to flee an ethnic-cleansing campaign conducted on a grand scale by the Kosovo...

The Intimate Hillary
by Lucinda Franks, Talk Magazine, Issue 1, Sept. 1999 As published in The Observer (UK) Aug 8, 1999 (No one cares about these degenerates' relationship, it's just that there's an important point about Kosovo in it.)
