"Fake News"? Enough Already - Go, CMD, go!
By Rob Williams - Posted on October 3rd, 2007
Rob sez: Kudos to ACME partners John Stauber, Sheldon Rampton and Diane Farsetta at the Center for Media and Democracy for their cutting-edge work on this issue.
One might argue that most of what passes for "news" on television is "fake" - a small sliver of our daily reality extruded through a variety of epistemological, economic, and political filters like so much shredded wheat.
But the widespread use of VNRS (video news releases) smacks of propaganda of the highest order. Thanks to CMD, this debate, on the heels of FCC fines, seems like a step in the right direction.
After 9/11: The Shock Doctrine and the Rise of Disaster Capitalism
By Rob Williams - Posted on September 12th, 2007
ACME advisory board member and independent Canadian journalist/author Naomi "No Logo" Klein, whom I first heard speak on "No Logo" at the NMMLP-sponsored Taos Talking Picture Festival almost a decade ago, is back with a brand-new book called "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism."
I've read all four excerpts online - the book will no doubt pack a tremendous wallop - seeking to expose the new post-9/11 "military/industrial/terror" complex that is re-making corporate globalization using radical free market "shock doctrine" techniques.

Happy new year to all! What a fabulous and productive fall for ACME. Three free new multimedia education resources for our members, national Summit planning underway, our new Orwell Project, an ongoing successful e-membership drive, and the launch of our newest ACMEBoston chapter!
And, after more than a year of discussion with four different IRS representatives, ACME is now an independent 501c3, so all of your donations are tax-deductible. (Special thanks to ACME Vice-President Bob McCannon for his perseverance in making this happen.)
