Brave new world!

Federal authorities are actively investigating dozens of American television stations for broadcasting items produced by the Bush administration and major corporations, and passing them off as normal news.

“Wag the dog” IS reality! Pretty shocking if you ask me but the outcome will be NOTHING, nobody cares about those sort of news anymore. Are people getting used to being lied to?

In its latest bid to show its progressive side, popular band Pearl Jam has just released its latest music video, “Life Wasted,” under a Creative Commons license. That means, according to Creative Commons creative director Eric Steuer, that anyone will be able to “legally copy, distribute and share the clip” for noncommercial purposes.

An awesome step in the right direction, if you ask me!
