I don't know if it is because the state of our media is so deviant, or the uplifting speeches at the end or if it because I have to go to work (with a couple of hardcore freepers) in an hour. I plan on making sure everyone i know sees this....

The media is our #1 enemy.

4. Yet you should STILL see "Outfoxed" because it shows how the New Totalita-
-rianism is playing out.

And it isn't a bit like the German and Russian version from the 20th Century...not overtly anyway, though the overall propaganda strategy of Totalitarianism remains essentially unchanged.

The package is new, so understanding the new package helps point it out to others.

2. I am anxious to see that. I've heard it's pretty scathing. Faux is such a
whore network.

6. I have the DVD, too, and saw it.
I feel the same way. Very sad indeed. I'm afraid to give it to one of my aquaintances who is a pro-Repub/Fox watching person who likes to give me jabs about my support of the Dem party. I'm afraid he will keep it and not give it back but I want him to see it so badly.

that Stanley Kubric film.

9. I just saw it last night at a meetup
Everyone applauded afterward. It was so sad it was laughable at how easily they can manipulate large numbers of people to accept a particular ideology. An acquaintance who isn't deeply into politics but leans liberal, told me once how he liked O'Reilly and agreed with a lot of what he said.

10. thanks guys
i am in awe of the power of that movie. I know I made the right decision getting rid of cable a couple of years ago. They may make their money from advertisers, but i rest a little easier knowing they will get none of mine and that I am on to them and their sneaky propaganda.
