This blog is created and maintained by Brian Anse Patrick, Ph.D., M.A., B.A. GED, Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Toledo, OH, for the purpose of discussing ongoing publications and intellectual/spiritual interests. Anti-Media are the computer mediated communication channels that are used to horizontally inform the New American Gun Culture, as opposed to the old vertical media/propaganda systems that are used to disinform the masses.
