Cynthia McKinney: "We Need Narco News, and It Needs Us"

A Letter from Georgia's Congresswoman-Elect on the Need for Authentic Media

<<SNIP>>

"The right wing has been indoctrinating young journalists with its own scholarship programs for 30 years. The Narco News School of Authentic Journalism is the first project of its kind to fight back by building an international army of truth-telling journalists of talent and fighting spirit."

This is flat out false. The Z Media Institute and the Independent Press Association have been doing trainings of alternative journalists for years.

Apparently, in cyberspace, "Authentic Journalism" means not relying on two sources, not fact-checking, and printing rumors as facts.
