The first Website I've posted below relates well to our class discussion today concerning censorship and consumer responsibility. As we are often deceived by corporations and their media strongarms, I feel we are responsible to research what we consume should we have the privilege and means to perform said research. This Website is a great resource for exactly that.
I've also attached an intriguing YouTube video that supports these topics, and centers on two Fox News journalists who were stiffled and eventually fired by Fox when they tried to report on the MNC Monsanto's use of Bovine Growth Hormone. Fox asserted (as did a Florida court) that the First Amendment enables the media to lie if they want to. This story has many implications concerning the all-too-prevalent power of MNCs to intimidate the media, as well as the media's ability to conceal the truth from viewers/consumers should they deem it necessary for the maintenance of their financial bottom line.
Both are interesting - I hope you enjoy!
