Oh Goody! A documentary exposing Faux News.
Mike Farrell says a buddy of his intends to shine a spotlight on the fascist news channel and its methods. Can't wait.

AMY GOODMAN: Do you think that Hollywood can be a force for good?

MIKE FARRELL: Absolutely. I think the media could be a very good force for good and I think Hollywood can as well. Today, Hollywood is the con strained by box office and ratings and all of those things that effectively bottom line, the corporate mentality has taken over in Hollywood and creativity is gone and asunder as a result to a significant degree.

AMY GOODMAN: Do you think the resistance is growing within Hollywood?

MIKE FARRELL: Sure. You see what Michael Moore's film has done. I don't know if you know about "Uncovered" Robert Greenwald's film. Robert and I were the co-founders of Artists United to Win Without War. We were the ones that created the thunderclap of opposition that was the hope of beginning some dialogue in this country. Robert is also doing a film that's going to be released soon about Fox News, about the kind of media manipulation that's going on about the garbage that's being shoved down people's throats with a particular political perspective at its root. He also did "Unprecedented" the film about the feeling of the election in Florida in 2000. So, we're seeing guerrilla filmmaking and good filmmaking. We're still seeing people caring enough to make motion pictures and television shows and matter. "West Wing" continues. It's harder and harder in the business that is more business than show today.
