PBS/Independent Lens "The Smartest Guys In the Room" (ENRON)

[babylonsister]

This is on PBS now here, in Houston, @ 12:05 am, and the picture is blacked out. I'm hearing it, but there is no pic.

Every other station/channel works. :wtf:

1. I rented that a while back.

You'll get pissed off, with or without the picture!

:hi:

[EFerrari]

2. Is this about Enron?

Maybe it's a good thing there's no picture.

3. Hah! It's now working, but too late. I have seen it, don't guess I need to do

it agin now, though it's a good documentary. I LOVE to see criminals exposed!

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

4. Damn Dish Network!

They don't seem to carry many real PBS stations, just a generic feed that is the same for several dozen cities,

I had this on DVD at one point but one of the times I sent my worthless Apple iBook away for service I left it in the DVD drive never to be seen again!

5. Is that what I was watching!

I was playing myself in scrabble and listening to the sleazy exploits of Jeff Skilling, not surprisingly it snuck into the game, I formed both "asshole" and "pig".

As if the programme wasn't frustrating enough, I got that Cardigans (?) song "love me love me" stuck in my head all night!

6. I saw that last week. Man, they raped California, they raped their investors.

they caused death and meyham by instigating rolling blackouts, they put Ahnold into office.

An amazing story when it's all put together.

7. PBS doesn't mention Enron's ties to CIA and employees using company cover

Leave it to the Enquirer

Enron-FedGov Corruption: CIA Used in Corp Espionage, Rackets
http://www.apfn.org/enron/fedgov.htm

to tell the story.

8. Conspiracy!

It worked on WHYY in Philly. Sorry you had problems, I TiVOd mine for later.

9. I had taped that about a week ago, watched it yesterday.

It really held my interest. Those a-holes should have been tarred and feathered, at the very least.

Enron had a culture of assholery. This was brought out in the show, although they didn't use those words.

That's disgusting that they blacked it out in your area. NFW that was due to "technical difficulties." Still, from just the audio you can get a lot out of it.
