Doug Collins @ get this straight @ THE MANUFACTURING and managing of the news is an ancient art. It goes back to Biblical times and is not con- fined to politicians. The media are good at it, too. An example is the fuss over a couple of South Africans coming here for an international raihvay conference sponsored by Expo. “South Africans Coming Despite Sanctions,” screamed a headline in the Vancouver Evening Wintp. More sensations followed: “South Africans Invited On Free Tour Of B.C.", read a second ef- fort. My God! What next? Heinrich Himmler? The stories were worth no more than a couple of paragraphs below the second-hand bike ads. But South Africa has replaced AIDS in the shock market, and the usual crowd came out screaming. We were also given the ofd “The Vancouver Sun has fearned...”" nonsense, just as if Rick Ouston had sleuthed Adolf Hitler sneaking into a food bank for a handout. We learned, too, that in Ed Broad- bent’s view the presence of these railwaymen was an AFFRONT to sanctions. { doubt whether he ran (o the Sun, though. ‘‘Phone Broadbent,” I can hear some deskman saying, “He'll give you some juicy quotes.'’ In the same way, one Zayed Gamiet of the Southern Africa Action Coalition was con- tacted. ‘‘Tell us what you think of this dreadful development, Zayed.” The stories were propaganda, keep-the-pot-boiling exercises, i: being the opinion of the orchestra conductors that the CNR, B.C. Rail and other sinister forces should not play host to official untouchables. * * * Compare the retching and heav- ing of the media on the above “scandal’’ to the murmurs of ap- proval on the Goldberg visit. Goldberg has a record as 4 ter- rorist, and for his efforts spent 24 years in a South African jug. But you didn’t see any headlines announcing: “Terrorist Canada!” On the contrary, it was soup and cracker time. There are, you see, two kinds of terrorism — good and bad. When it’s good terrorism, the clergy and civic notables come out (o clap, as they did for Goldberg. Goldberg's claim to fame is that he was convicted along with Nelson Mandela for “attempting to over- throw the white supremacist Pretoria government.,”’ as the Sun’s news report so delicately put It. Makes Tour Of {The gevernment of South Africa is always 0 “white supremacist’, but the one in Angola and certain other great democracies are never referred to as “Saviet clent states’. The U.LS.S.R. is never a “red dictator- ship’, either.) On the radio, Goldberg was described as a ‘tformer political prisoner’*. You might have thought he was some parlor-pink who had been bundied into the clink for his views, [In Tact he was a member of agany led by Mandela who in 1963 were caught on a farm in the Transvaal with an arsenal of 210,000 hand grenades, 48,000 land mines tnd 50 tons of explosives, A Revolutionary Council of State was to have been set up, and if it had come into being it is unlikely that Desmond Tutu would have had a place in it. 1 doubt, too, whether Mandela and Goldberg would have taken kindly to high- minded parsons like our Ar- chbishop Ted Scott poking around in their precincts. jt was found that Mandela, whom Brian Baloney and some other demented Western politicians see as a hero, had writen in his own hand: ‘'We of the Communist Party are the most advanced revolutionaries in modern history and we are the fighters of the drive to revolutionize the world...’".
