The Film:

Student filmed and produced, United States of Distraction: Fighting The Fake News Invasion chronicles critical media literacy scholars, students, and journalists that provide contextual analysis for understanding the current rise of the so-called “fake news” phenomenon. In addition to deconstructing fake news, the film reminds us that this current wave of disinformation is not a new development, but rather, a form of propaganda. The interviews provided in the film offer solutions for mitigating the pernicious influence of false content on America’s democratic institutions. Edited and narrated by Abby Martin, with direction from Nolan Higdon, Mickey Huff, and Andy Lee Roth.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
