In the wake of seeing Outfoxed earlier this week, it was interesting to find this post on the Tour De France today. Not surprisingly, Germany also seems to have a problem with biased networks who cut people off when they don’t agree with them. Even more ironically, and I’ve been thinking about this for a while, Al Jazeera was founded mainly to combat the many government run news agencies in the Middle East, but they seem to get nothing but bad press over here. I’d really like to see Control Room.
I finally watched Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. I may post more on that later, but I want to re-read some of the criticisms and counter-criticisms. My initial impression is that it isn’t nearly as radical as some have made it out to be. It’ll be a documentary hat trick this week if I get around to watching Fog of War which I borrowed from Casino.
