Kate Sheppard, 2006 IC grad who has built a career in indy media, reports for Mother Jones on the latest Yes Men hoax -- a phony U.S. Chamber of Commerce news conference in which the chamber purports to reverse its legislative obstruction on global warming and now plans to support laws reducing carbon emissions. Fox Business channel was briefly hoaxed. Democracy Now! told the story.
Here's trailer for the new doc (will be in Ithaca next month): The Yes Men Fix the World.
