Norman Solomon author of The Habits of Highly Deceptive Media: The P.U.-Litzer Prizes for 2001: “…established a decade ago to give recognition to the stinkiest media performances of the year.

We regret that only a few journalists can win a P.U.-litzer.” Media Beat at FAIR Also: Danny Schechter’s readers at the Media Channel note their 2001 media hits and misses.
