"NEW QUOTE FOR NEWSPEAK "Not since Orwell and Chomsky has perceived reality been so skilfully revealed in the cause of truth." John Pilger QUOTES ON MEDIA LENS - USED FOR GUARDIANS OF POWER 'Regular critical analysis of the media, filling crucial gaps and correcting the distortions of ideological prisms, has never been more important. Media Lens has performed a major public service by carrying out this task with energy, insight, and care.' Noam Chomsky 'Media Lens is doing an outstanding job of pressing the mainstream media to at least follow their own stated principles and meet their public service obligations. It is fun as well as enlightening to watch their representatives, while sometimes giving straightforward answers to queries, often getting flustered, angry, evasive, and sometimes mistating the facts. This won't change the media very much, but it will make them a bit more careful and honest, and it will help educate the public, which will have its own useful spinoff.' Edward S. Herman 'In telling us the unvarnished truth, Media Lens is the best thing to happen to the British media for as long as I can remember.'John Pilger"
Product Description
Media Lens is a media monitoring outfit that takes journalists and broadcasters to task for misrepresentation, omissions, and otherwise colouring the truth. They are believers in Chomsky's Propaganda Model of the media, that the corporate media, as profit-driven institutions, tend to serve and further the agendas of the interests of dominant, elite groups in the society - and "Media Lens" shows how this plays out in practice through their dialogues with individuals from (especially) the BBC, the "Guardian" and the "Independent", which they reproduce with commentary in their regular 'media alerts', which are sent out by email to their subscriber list and also posted on their web site.
