Bob and Lisa -- excellent conversation (and impressive comments from callers). I came across this at the perfect time as I have been struggling to educate/inform people on how to understand when they are dealing with corporate front group propaganda. I usually refer them to Sourcewatch and now I can also share this interview. Lisa -- The Center for Media and Democracy is easily one of the most important resources for media activists, scholars and citizens. Bob -- thank you for this podcast and your books/essays. I just finished your Monthly Review essay on the Internet's Unholy Marriage to Capitalism and will use it in my Peace & Conflict Studies courses. I appreciated the refresher on Lundberger's Paradox. Solidarity, Michael
