VIDEO - Orwell Rolls In His Grave! an AMAZING documentary on the media...
It is an excellent breakdown of the problem we are having as a democracy as a function of the media serving the corperate interests instead of ours. Great to show or link to people still watching the MSM for ANY news, the 1st step for everyone still in the dark is to get them of the TV news. Progressive talk and the right Internet sites (and word of mouth) are all we have to wake up the people! I totally agreed when they called this issue the most important problem we face!

So, watch this.. learn, and then do what you can to fight propaganda and to bring awareness to as many other Americans as you can!

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8560.htm

----

"Director Robert Kane Pappas’ "Orwell Rolls In His Grave" is the consummate critical examination of the Fourth Estate, once the bastion of American democracy. Asking whether America has entered an Orwellian world of doublespeak where outright lies can pass for the truth, Pappas explores what the media doesn’t like to talk about: itself."

1. I watched it, and I will make sure to get it out to everyone that I know..

I knew all of this shit, but there is nothing like being confirmed by various sources, and on film.

The question now becomes...what are we going to do about it?
Looks like we are really up shit's creek without a paddle to me.

and Nominated!

2. I haven't seen all of it yet
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 01:18 AM by FreedomAngel82
but I like when the first person said "meidaocracy." Only thing is how to make people believe it? We are fucked. There's nothing we can do. I'll have to read "1984" now.

4. We pass the link on to as many as we can....
That's for starters.

I've just sent this to many of the Internet groups I belong to. Take my word for it...that's quite a few, include some folks in Iraq.

It's long...but it's worth the watch.

5. I'll see what I can do
about getting the few people I know (who are all democratic) to watch this. None of them have the time to really follow politics all that much, much less would believe half of the stuff I read about within this forum (mainly news stories that don't get reported within the msm). Anyway, if anything I will give this a kick. :kick:

7. What we can do....
Destroy the reputation of the mainstream media. Anytime you hear someone talk about how they watch CABLE news tell them about this documentary, and try to convince them that they are bing lied to.

That's the only thing we can do until dems get control of congress and can pass media reform. But I dont even seeing the left laying a foundation for that.

Boy this documentary really bummed me out.

9. BUCK UP! the progressive truth media is on the rise!!
New media, like Air America, is growing in leaps and bounds... people like us are using word of mouth.. and if you get them to tell others, it becomes exponential! By watch this we have armed ourselves with facts to help people get over the big lie.... look around.. the blogs are new media... Gore is trying to start a TV channel.. Sundance shows great documentaries... it takes time!

Im going to this Media Conference... many people are aware of the propaganda and we are pissed!

http://www.freepress.net/conference/

oh.. and I dream of the day when the facts are common knowledge and we are seen as the people that carried the truth to all!

12. If you have Dish or DirectTV...
I've seen this documentary on FreeSpeech Tv which is on channel 9415 on DishNetwork. It's an excellent documentary. They've also shown some other documentaries that are really good. One I've seen is called Hijacking Catastrophe. It's also on DirectTV and on some cable networks. For channel numbers or to check them out go to their website...I think it's fstv.org, but I'm not positive, you may need to google it. You might be able to purchase it there, I know you can check their schedule to see when they'll be showing it again. It's a GREAT channel!!! They show Democracy Now every weekday at 8am, and replay it throughout the day. They've got some really good programming, I recommend it strongly. Also on Dish channel 9410 is LinkTV which is another free speech network. I stumbled onto them, and now I watch them all the time!
