In the introduction to Seeing Through Movies, Miller argues that the nature of American films has been affected by the impact of advertising.[2] He has said that the handful of multinational corporations in control of the American media have changed youth culture's focus away from values and toward commercial interests and personal vanity.[3]
In a June 2001 profile by Chris Hedges for The New York Times, Miller described himself a "public intellectual" and criticized television news "that is astonishingly empty and distorts reality".[4] He has appeared on the Useful Idiots podcast and was praised by its host, Matt Taibbi.[5][6]
Conspiracy-theory and disinformation promotion
In his social and political commentary, Miller frequently espouses conspiracy theories.[7]
Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre hoax conspiracy theory
In a blog post, Miller suggested that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was a hoax; in a subsequent interview, he denied that any children died in the shooting and voiced "suspicion" that "it was staged" or was "some kind of an exercise."[7] Miller praised a Sandy Hook denial book by James Fetzer as "compelling" (a $450,000 defamation judgment had previously been entered against Fetzer, after the father of one of the murdered Sandy Hook students sued him for false statements made in the book).[7]
