VNR EXECUTIVE FILES E-MAIL WITH FCC AGAINST "RADICALLY LEFT WING" GROUP
[SOURCE: Lasar's Letter on the FCC, AUTHOR: Matthew Lasar]
The president of a company that makes Video News Releases (VNRs) has filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission describing an organization critical of his products as a "radically left wing anti-corporate group." "The Center for Media and Democracy [CMD] continues to fallaciously charge that what we do is somehow dishonest and that stations airing our content are violating our rules," Kevin Foley, President of KEF Media Associates, Inc., e-mailed FCC Chair Kevin Martin in mid-December. "Neither accusation is true." Foley cc'd the e-mail to Republican Commissioners Robert M. McDowell and Deborah Taylor Tate, but not to either of the agency's two Democrats: Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps. The Commission accepted and publicly filed the comment on January 9th of this year. For almost ten months the CMD has run a spirited campaign against the undisclosed broadcasting of VNRs, which the group calls "fake news."
