Great documentary about Right wing bias in American News

[glarius]

I watched a great documentary tonight on CBC Newsworld...It was called "Sticks and Stones." It was about the right wingnuts in the American media....Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter were featured prominently....There were excellent interviews with Phil Donohue and Al Franken...Franken broke down and cried at one point because he hates what has happened to the political scene in the country he loves. If there are any Americans close to the Canadian border who can get CBC Newsworld, it repeats at Friday 1:00 & 4:00 a.m. Sunday, 3:00 a.m. & 7:00 p.m.
Here's a link to the web page about the show.

2. We Love Canada!

Hopefully, our national madness will end soon. Until then, I hope Canada keeps twisting the right wing tail here in America. The whole legalizing reefer thing is great. It makes the wing nuts crazy to think people are smoking weed.

9. No, NWI doesn't air 'the fifth estate'...

I just sent them an email requesting that they begin airing the show. If enough people write to them about it, perhaps they will? :shrug:

here's their URL: http://www.nwitv.com/

8. Bill Moyer Did His Last Broadcast On This

Bill Moyer did a great job of exposing the right-wing media cabal. Of course, it was ignored by the right-wing media cabal.
