Orwell rolls in his grave! Amazing documentary about how US media system works
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 06:35 AM by Andre II
Great film!
Don't know if it has been discussed here.
It perfectly shows how the media system works in the US and highlights frightening paralells to George Orwell's masterpiece "1984".

Although the film was done in 2004 it hasn't lost any importance. On the contrary!

1. If Orwell could have seen what this Administration would have put in place,
he wouldn't have written 1984 ... because it would have paled in comparison ...

(yes, I did read it, and yes, I'm slightly exaggerating ...)

2. It is a good movie
Another good one is "The Liberal Media Myth." I like that one too. I always recommend those two to people who haven't heard of them.

3. Sure is
Saw it on either FSTV or Link TV over a year ago. It's a real eye-opener.
