I.O.U.S.A. Is Not OK

January 2009

During one weekend in January, CNN turned over a total of four hours of programming to the financial backers and stars of the anti-investment documentary “I.O.U.S.A." We demanded that CNN give equal time to public investment strategies that will put our economy back on a sound footing.

As a result of our campaign, decision makers at CNN received thousands of emails letting them know that biased anti-investment programming by a news outlet is not acceptable. We hope that as a result of this push-back, CNN will think more carefully about giving an inordinate amount of airtime to groups pushing biased reactionary viewpoints in the future.
