Orwell Rolls in His Grave (2003)

"This chilling documentary film examines the relationship between the media, corporate America, and government. In a country where the 'top 1% control 90% of the wealth', the film argues that the media system is nothing but a 'subsidiary of corporate America.'"

Good job Ryan. Thanks for showing a little ignorance in your writing. Way to attack a person *clap clap*...meanwhile what you have written is a good example of saying nothing. The word you were trying to write I assume is "about" (bout is not in the English language we have all agreed to speak here), and "You moron" is hardly a well formulated sentence when attempting to debate a point with any validity. Further, what do our interactions with Iraq, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Vietnam, WW2, and WW1show us about this particular documentary lying? I don't think anyone sees the connection you're trying to make.
John...there is a difference between representing another view and constantly pushing your views onto the public through propaganda. The far right conservatives seek to undermine journalistic integrity by spending millions in a campaign telling the public they are "fair and unbiased", which is absurd. Looking at this critically should not be considered propaganda. How can you not see that this is just another view which is NOT represented on the mainstream media? Watch Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (2004). Call it what you want, but you can't argue much about it. They show you how the right side imposes its opinion under the banner of fairness while only representing their own OPINIONS and not facts. Clips are unarguable weather they are edited or not. Good luck arguing the truth. Go back to sleep...

this documentary from 2003 just goes to show that the US Congress over looking the media conglomerates in 2008 area about to deny large media groups from controlling and monopolizing tv, newspapers and radio by one company. There is so much truth to this that the congress has met on it this year.
I do agree, the media failed us all in staying independent. Instead they have become vehicles for government propaganda. The two biggiest polarities that show evidence of this comparing Al Jazeera news and FOX news. Then try comparing the BBC and independent journalism.

Ok John, how about giving us one example of a lie in this movie. Come on - put up or shut up. When you can't do that, give us an example of a lie from the so called left. I say "so called" becauase calling liberals and democrats "left" is absurd. We are centrists and moderates. You so called conservatives are actually fascists. I have no problem with real moderate, centrist conservatives, there just don't seem to be any around these days. The fascists (the Republican Party) are so far to the right that the center looks like left. Chew on that!
