For example, he noted research showing that the notion of a &quot;single-payer&quot; health system in the United States -- with the government the likely single payer -- has hardly been mentioned in discussion about President Obama&#039;s health-care initiatives. <br /> <br /> PHILLIPS: Increasingly the news is run by corporations that are in the advertising business. He says Robert Rosenthal mentioned public outrage. They random surveyed 376 people at the Minneapolis media-reform converence. <br /> <br /> *Of those 99% agree with the statement that corporate media has failed to keep the public informed on important issues facing the nation. <br /> <br /> *Ninety-one percent agreed with the statement that there is a truth emergency in the United States. <br /> <br /> PHILLIPS: &quot;We have to talk about how we validate news on the Internet.&quot; Project Censored has now 28 affiliate universities helping with the work of Project Censored. They want universities to research, vet and validate news. So that the universities can be a place where students can come and have access to quality news. <br /> <br /> &lt;i&gt;(The rest of this panel uncovered; I had to be on a conference call; if you were there, add your notes to this wiki)&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Masslaw]]</div>
