Listening Post - YouTube killers - 03 Oct 08 - Part 1

2008-10-08T06:50:32Z

This week on The Listening Post, old media, new media and the phenomenon of the YouTube killers.

In this week's News Divide, we take a look at the latest phenomenon of our time, and our technology.

As the latest Finnish school shooter joins the ranks of a disturbing new breed of young mass murderers who have relied on the media to gain notoriety, the Listening Post explores the new media platforms, the videos they showcase and where the responsibility lies for policing the content. We also look how the mainstream media are handling this often graphic material and beaming it into the homes of unsuspecting viewers.

Plus, go to part two for 'Ramadan TV': the battle for the hearts and minds of Islamic viewers and the big business that it brings.

Following up on our successful effort to expose the modern day robber barons who make billions and benefit from tax loopholes that allow them to get taxed at a lower rate than police officers, waiters or any other American working much much harder for much much less.

Here are your details:

Throughout the day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, activists will be using walking video billboards, new technology that allows for street level viewing by passersby. The "War on Greed Walkabout" will include stops outside the offices of the buyout industry's lobbying group, the Private Equity Council, Capitol Hill, Metro stations, fire stations, and along the K St. corridor and the Carlyle Group Headquarters.
To join in the fun, meet at 1800 Mass: 12/11 4:30pm, 12/12 8am, or 12/13 4pm
Note to reporters: if you would like to accompany the "War on Greed Walkabout" please contact SEIU's Renee Asher at 202-255-4251.
