One of the first things that gives this film away as a non-documentary are the well-staged camera angles. The next are the actors showing up portraying "real life" characters (man on the street). Instead of addressing the issues in a realistic manner, the characters spew Liberal talking points and mandates based on misunderstood concepts. And it seems every Conservative interviewed is cut to make them look like lunatics, and every Liberal is viewed as a victimized wise old sage. And the whole idea of the film is that this guy's show is being shut down because of obscenity charges because he uses the "F" word too often. Well, welcome to broadcasting, pal. Nobody in this film, including the broadcaster, realize that the airwaves are owned by the People, and we want obscenity-free airwaves. And the producers either don't know what free speech is and how broadcasting fits into that, or they're totally misrepresenting it all on purpose. Overall, nothing new here, no real analysis of the "F" word and it's impact on free speech or broadcasting. Just a bunch of Liberals whining about how evil and stupid George Bush is and how the FCC is out to censor everyone. What a waste.
