An Anti-Spin Sister [1]
Submitted by Diane Farsetta [2] on
A new European organization, Spinwatch [3], has been launched to inform "journalists and the general public about the behind-the-scenes interests that influence - and occasionally create - the news." Co-founder David Miller "says the lies of non-existent weapons of mass destruction [4], and the general lack of questioning in the mainstream media, inspired him to take action," reports the Guardian. "Miller wants to recreate U.S. corporate bugbear PR Watch [5] for a UK and European audience." Spinwatch's launch coincides with "a conference on government spin and corporate deception at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow."
