The media spin on the suicide of religious cult members is, in a word, inexcusable. Television, radio and print media sources have reported this as if the cult did all their recruiting online and killed themselves by ingesting poison computer parts. The cult was around for 22 years, LONG before the web. They only recently began making some money making VERY bad web pages. I ask you, if they where garbage men would the story be focused on dumps and not the deaths? If they were construction workers, would they be discussing how vulnerable and lonely the average framer is?

The crew at HigherSource.ORG is trying to accomplish one thing. To bring attention to the inaccuracies of the reporting about the Internet. Not only in the present farcical situation, but in all reporting of the net. Not everyone on the net is a pedophile or religious cult member. Millions of people use the Internet every day for their business, research and other legitimate reasons.
