-- Brilliant Movie - thank you ( it's very sad IMDb closed the message boards )
This movie is basically about how our private for-profit journalism system that we rely on to maintain our "democracy" such as it is, such as it ever was - running, and how the companies that now fulfill this vital socio-political function feed us JUNK, every bit as deadly as the junk food our private for-profit food system feeds out bodies.
One example statistic was an independent review company watched network news for a month straight, logging and analyzing everything and determined that in a half-hour of news the public gets about 27 seconds of relevant facts.
This movie is brilliant, it is one of those important movies that people should see and think about. And if IMDb had not removed their message board system we could all ( those of us who wanted to ) be having a very important and deep discussion about this important subject.
