Topic Review (Newest First)

    A lot of my friends seem to be concerned about the government
    interfering and watching over our daily lives, but what was surprising
    to me was to find out (through a new documentary) that major news
    organizations are also playing a part, though much less publicized
    (because ironically they run the media!)

    Case in point: Al Franken. Here’s a gentleman who was looking to have
    his book published called “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them”. The
    book basically exposes many unknown truths about the lies and dark
    sides of major news organizations. Once Fox News heard about this book,
    they went to court and tried (unsuccessfully) to stop its publication.
    To me, that’s pretty scary. I feel that Americans have the right to
    know what’s going on. If the government doesn’t tell us the whole
    truth, and now we’re learning that the people that run the news that we
    watch each night are doing the same to us, what can we do?

    The film is called “The First Amendment Project”, and I first saw it
    about a month ago at the Hamptons Film Festival. I know it won’t get as
    much publicity as Michael Moore’s recent documentary, but in my
    opinion, this movie is even more important because it exposes the
    people that are bring us the news in the first place. I’m sure you can
    google the name of the movie for more info, or if you want to catch it
    on Court TV next Tuesday night at 10pm. I’m going to tape it for a
    couple friends since no major networks would air it, and not everyone
    has cable.
