Must watch Documentary - Fear and Favor in the Newsroom
Fear and Favor in the Newsroom


In the public's eye, reporters will do anything for a story. FEAR AND FAVOR IN THE NEWSROOM takes viewers behind the scenes to shatter this myth. Narrated by Studs Terkel, FEAR AND FAVOR IN THE NEWSROOM shows for the first time on film how ownership of the press by a small corporate elite constricts the free flow of ideas and information upon which our democracy depends. To order the video and learn more go to http:www.fearandfavor.org

I know many of you know of this obvious distortion within our media. But your friends who don't believe you. May enjoy watching an hour documentary whoing examples of the exact behavior we talk about. Editor's fired for talking about certain corporations or brining up hard questions etc....

This is the state of our media. With information like this and some agressive lawyers, I think a nice classaction lawsuit would get some changes.

Enoy the hour presentation and share it with friends.

But they're busted.

My friend doesn't understand why this happens.

It's all about the Bling-Bling.

Sorry for the caps but this IS a top notch program (hosted by Studs, who endorses DK and thinks The Kooch would trounce Bush in the GE, by the way).

This program is ESSENTIAL - it explains quickly and with great examples how our country LIES to us CONTINUALLY using the media.

A MUST SEE!!!!!!!!

link to upcoming shows (hope it works!)

Thursday, January 8 9:00 PM
Friday, January 9 3:00 AM
