The Myth of the Liberal Media

A great documentary laying out the Propaganda Model of the media. Particularly good in the latter half where you get to actually observe mainstream media treatment of the various events covered. It's well worth the hour of time invested.

Jon,
Very good...well worth the watch
Um what about we run a site where anyone could post stuff the big companies didn't want us to know like um leaked US Military supplier scandals... or even military screw ups they don't want us to know about...we could get donations from the public to fund it!
It's been done??! How well did that go then ? ;)

Why do you think that alternative economic theories always get more noise in opposition than reason ?
That's the reason I tend to be more interested about the motives for the self interests....to address the issues that form the fear.
Besides which
Just because I'm paranoid that doesn't mean they're not out to get me. :)
