Michael Moore's next project should be about media fomented ignorance and violence
It's an important issue and it should be addressed.

Maybe Ken Burns would be better at giving a historical perspective. But hate speech leads to hate, leads to violence.

We need to have some kind of documentary comprehensively showing what hate/ propaganda led to in the Holocaust, Father Coughlin, Radio Rwanda, Alan Berg, etc.

3. Great idea. In fact, a collaboration of Moore and Burns would be great.
There is a real darkness in America right now because of it. It also has many historical parallels.

7. That, profits, and just as importantly, perpetuating an ideological stratagem to shape opinion

13. The only irony is you proclaiming it where none exists.
You remind me of those guys who sweep the beaches with their metal detectors, triumphantly locating and unearthing. . .beer cans.
