Week 5: Public Interest Groups, Advocacy Advertising & Political Media Spending Guest: Rick Davis, CNN head of News Standards & Practices Public interest groups, think tanks and bloggers provide a limitless supply of talking heads for the media. Often useful information and helpful points of view can turn into endless recitation of pre-rehearsed and focus group tested talking points. There are also the paid advocacy ads, which are required to be neither fair nor balanced....only "factually correct", and we’ve seen what can be done with facts lacking context.As for political media spending, what has been the real effect up to now of the Citizen's United and other court rulings Who are the winners and losers so far? ***All study groups are off-the-record and not for media coverage***
