Clay Shirky, NPR Underwriting as Advertising

Professor Clay Shirky is featured in undercover footage from Project Veritas discussing the Occupy Wall Street media strategy. He also describes NPR's "underwriting" model as a tax-loophole version of traditional advertising. The hosts agree that the distinction between underwriting and advertising is a semantic scam used to maintain a veneer of non-commercialism.
