- Mad Pride vs. Mass Media
- You've heard of Gay Pride? Make room for Mad Pride.
- But it looks like big corporate media is getting a case of
the nerves
- about mad pride.
- ABC-TV did a segment on Primetime Outsiders about Mad
Pride on 25
- August 2009, featuring an interview with activist Bonfire
Madigan
- Shive. Unfortunately, ABC-TV distorted the message about
Mad Pride and --
- like so much mass media -- luridly sensationalized
violence by a few
- people with psychiatric labels.

David Oaks,
