"Communications Wealth of Nations: How corporations are monopolizing the means of making meaning and how people's media can–and always have–fought back!" - Laura Flanders

"It appears the American media no longer requires that words bear any relationship to truth or to a larger purpose other than peddling rigid and archaic ideologies designed to shock and stupefy audiences." - Sonali Kolhatkar
