Hey, Is That Hope on the Horizon? Paul Jay and Independent World Television (IWT)

IWT, an independent television news network supported by viewer donations. Well, let's weigh 'em to see who gets my two cents (before adjustment for inflation); PBS--IWT? PBS--IWT? Hmmm...

From Buzzflash: Paul Jay Previews Independent World Television:

"What we think is, if you don't do it on TV, it doesn't break through. But if we break through with it on television, then it makes it much more difficult for the rest of the television media to simply ignore these stories.

What television is doing, and to some extent the big-media print press -- is they're treating propaganda as news. They're allowing political forces and corporate forces to create a facade of how the world looks. And they're reporting on the facade as if it's real. I liken it to professional wrestling, about which I made a film. Wrestling press can talk about wrestling theater as if it's something real, even though everybody knows it's theater. Well, the same thing's happening here. If you try to step outside that as a journalist, they call you partisan."

Oh and the wingers, they think that conservative media ownership has nothing to do with propoganda.
