While strictly a non-partisan event, the Media Reform Conference in Memphis this past weekend was decidedly critical of the current administration and the right-wing media that serves it so well. From Bill Moyers and Jesse Jackson on Friday; to Bernie Sanders and Amy Goodman on Saturday; to Jane Fonda and Van Jones on Sunday, the Democrats, progressives, left-leaning, and far left were well represented. NCMR Video and NCMR audio now posted. On several occasions during the sessions I wondered if right-leaning media representatives were among us, taking notes. Sure enough!

Conservative writer and commentator, Cliff Kincaid, has much to say about the conference, and media reform in this piece from the oddly named Family Security Matters. His piece rambles on about the hot-button issues of "fairness" and "security", and makes George Soros sound like the Kaiser Solzay of American media:

In addition to the creation of what he calls a “New World Order” under U.N. auspices, Soros’s causes include abortion, drug legalization, and special rights for immigrants, homosexuals, felons, and prostitutes. An atheist, Soros is promoting the complete breakdown of traditional values and morality in America.

In ending he expresses concern:

This is what passes for “progressivism” these days. It is a clear danger to freedom at home and abroad.
