Weekend Video Salon: Rich Media, Poor Democracy

We continued our free film series yesterday, showing Outfoxed and War Made Easy--two excellent documentaries. Both films focused the role of media in our lives--particularly the degree of control our highly consolidated media exercises in determining what can be discussed, and what CAN'T.

This video of Robert McChesney picks up where our films and our discussion afterwards left off. He's one of the most renowned media scholars around--he also a huge fan of the Mountain Area Information Network. Enjoy!
