Lisa Graves is president of CMD.〔 Author Sheldon Rampton was formerly an editor of PR Watch. In a report released on April 6, 2006, CMD listed information on 77 television stations that it said had broadcast video news releases (VNRs) in the prior 10 months. CMD said that in each case the television station actively disguised the VNR content to make it appear to be its own reporting, and that in more than one-third of the cases, the stations aired the pre-packaged VNR in its entirety. In August 2006, the Federal Communications Commission mailed formal letters to the owners of the 77 television stations, asking for information regarding agreements between the stations and the creators of VNRs, and asking whether there was any "consideration" given to the stations in return for airing the material. In 2014, CMD merged with ''The Progressive'', a progressive monthly magazine, but separated after six months. CMD has investigated and reported on donor-advised funds, referring to such donations as a form of "dark money". According to the ''Capital Times'' of Madison, Wisconsin, CMD is a recipient of donor-advised funds via the Schwab Charitable Fund. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center for Media and Democracy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
