While prepping for my Media Literacy class on journalism and mainstream news, I came across this site on Fake TV News. Even for a critical (and old) media consumer as myself, it is still pretty amazing how constructed and manipulated our news environments.
Teaching this class has awakened my awareness about how much consumer society and corporate agendas are seemlessly woven into our experience of reality and our information / communication systems. Consumption, capital, corporations – you know they are there, but its good to get a wake-up call every once in a while.
