Astroturf and manipulation of media messages

Sharyl Attkisson, of ex-CBS News fame, recently gave a “TEDx-Talk” at the University of Nevada. She discusses what you likely felt is true…that what you read and see may largely be manipulated by government and large corporations to push a particular product or policy. And she provides an insider’s perspective from within the media industry. It’s worth 10 minutes of your time.

About the Author: Eric M

Eric uncomfortably admits that until about 15 years ago, he was a political "free rider", always thinking that others would do the heavy lifting to keep America on course. After watching both democrats and republicans steer us FAR in the wrong direction, Eric knew he had to get involved. Now working with Richmond Tea Party to advance conservative principles, Eric serves on the Board of Directors and as a resource for "all things technology".
