Fake TV News
Fake TV News Widespread and Undisclosed
Center for Media and Democracy
November 14, 2008
WASHINGTON The Center for Media Democracy and Free Press today exposed an epidemic of fake news infiltrating local television broadcasts across country. At a press conference in Washington with FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein, the groups called for a crackdown on stations that present corporate-sponsored videos as genuine news to an unsuspecting audience.
CMD, which unveiled the results of a 10-month investigation, found scores of local stations slipping commercial “video news releases,” or VNRs, into their regular news programming. The new multimedia report released today includes footage of 36 separate VNRs and their broadcast as “news” by TV stations and networks nationwide, including those in the nation’s biggest markets.
The full report — “Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed” — is now available complete with VNR and TV station video footage at www.prwatch.org/fakenews/execsummary.

Oh no! I'm being manipulated just like when dear Mr Bush and dear Mr Blair made that awfully regettable mistake of believing their spies in Iraq - y'know, the ones who overuled the weopens inspectors to protect those crucial international power bases. I cannot surely be sure of where the cunt ends and the asshole begins.
(Illustrating the point that I despise the corporeal manifestations of the greedy, and the perverted international "elites")
