In this MediaBytes clip Greg shares a story from when he first moved to Vienna in the 80s. He came across a neighborhood that consisted of refugees that had been pursued by the CIA. This was an experience he would never forget. Hearing their tragic stories made him feel overwhelmed, embarrassed and as if the wool had been lifted. First hand accounts can change our perspective because we see that which our media had attempted to shelter us from. Hence the imperfection of the concept of media. This clip was part of MediaBytes: The Madness in the Message Radio Hour with Ron Placone. http://www.ronplacone.com http://www.radiofreenashville.org
