Yesterday, the Center for Media and Democracy released a report commenting on the use of so-called Video News Releases (VNRs).  Video News Releases are pre-recorded news-style press releases that a television station can drop into their larger news pieces or newscasts; federal law stipulates that the sources of VNRs are disclosed.  The report evaluates the use of VNRs over the past 10 months, and finds that such disclosure did not occur. Democracy NOW reports on the story with interviews from VNR star Robin Raskin and FCC Commish Jonathan Adelstein   This “fake news” is obviously different from the fake news of Norm MacDonald’s Weekend Update or Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show.  Now, you will need more help telling the fake news from the fake news.
