Channel One News for October 18, 2011

October 21, 2011

Channel One News is making it hard for school administrators to defend it.

Taxpayer-funded school time is used to promote DreamWorks new movie Puss in Boots. Actress Salma Hayek talks directly to Channel One’s captive audience of students plugging the movie. Of course, Channel One uses a Pop Quiz as a long-form commercial for the film. Notice the ad for the drug and alcohol soaked Footloose movie that plays before the video of the daily show starts. Never has a movie been promoted as much as Footloose. Back to Puss in Boots: Watch as Shelby Holliday uses her position as anchor/reporter to help promote the movie.
