A new documentary on how a few huge corporations control the news media and the news. Brief media-history lessons alternate with close-ups of particular news stories.
Speakers include Robert McChesney, Amy Goodman, Julian Assange, Janine Jackson, Dan Rather, and others.
This week: two stories suppressed by CBS: Nike's exploited workers and evidence that TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a US Navy missile. Plus the really free press in the early US and the rise of media monopolies in the 1930s.
