At Salon, Maia Szalavitz takes on the ONDCP’s advertising campaigns, including some of the borderline and outright lies about mental illness, depression, and cancer. Nothing new to those of us who follow this regularly, and it’s not particularly compelling reading, but still nice to see it as the lead article on Salon.com.
Salon once was a real leader in this area (particularly with the Daniel Forbes investigative reporting and Arianna Huffington’s opinion pieces back in 2000), but needs to get more regularly involved in exposing the drug war.
