Description from Google Video

"Could a media system, controlled by a few global corporations with the ability to overwhelm all competing voices, be able to turn lies into truth?..."

This chilling documentary film examines the relationship between the media, corporate America, and government. In a country where the "top 1% control 90% of the wealth", the film argues that the media system is nothing but a "subsidiary of corporate America."

Director: Robert Kane Pappas - Run Time 1 Hour 46 Minutes

Pity about the lack of image clarity. Nevertheless an interesting documentary. I had not realized that it was through deregulation of the media that we came to our present day situation, although I think that is an over-simplification. I think we were already a long way in this direction before that. The documentary did not bring up infiltration of the media by the secret services which I think is a big deal, but it is interesting to note the claim that the media is sending our society further to the right, including our politicians - I think this is the case.
