When the rabble-rousing Paper Tiger Television began its crusade of savvy, critical programming in 1981, FOX News was just a glimmer in Rupert Murdoch's eye. More than 25 years later, the organization's emphasis on media literacy seems prescient and in increasingly embattled territory, given the hyper-consumptive state of the American cultural scene. Paper Tiger Reads Paper Tiger Television documents the collective's open-source tactics, and includes playful blasts of animation, political theatre, video art, and uncut commentary from lefty luminaries like Howard Zinn.
