John Cusack made a very brief video for the NCMR 2008 Conference.
In it, he talks about the obvious major conflicts of interest that exist in today's corporate media structure. When people who sit on corporate boards of major defense companies are given free air time to push for war (and then their companies earn fantastic profits from that very same war)--or when one of the architects of a failed war policy is rewarded by being given his own column in the New York Times...is that a problem?
Cusack also mentions Naomi Klein's recent book, The Shock Doctrine. A darn good read. Also, check out his new film, War, Inc. It may just remind you of a certain charming little company headquartered in beautiful Moyock, NC.

I saw his interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now and he was also just interviewed by Keith Olbermann where he talks about the same things. All interesting things to watch.
