Project Media Literacy is a UCLA student group that works with local middle schools to develop media literacy at a younger age. We encourage students to analyze and critique the countless mass media forums they interact with on a daily basis after taking a close look at the motivations behind, and inner workings of, different internet sites, television shows, films, newscasts, and music features. Project Media Literacy fosters independent viewpoints and rich minds, y'hear!
This clip is pretty sick, besides the fact that it's a superb example of priming, in which the media tell a person what to think about. This selective attention, of course, could lead to someone missing a pretty big fact or two while they're focused on one issue.
