In Preparation for My Debate...

I couldn't help but embed this video. CAUTION: If you don't like crude humor, do NOT watch!

New Michael Moore Movie

I ran across an article about Michael Moore's new movie (opening Oct. 2nd) "Capitalism: A Love Story." First, here is the link to the article: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.reuters.com/quotcapitalism-evilquot-says-new-michael-moore-film-reuters. And here is the trailer for the film:
I know in order to make an informed judgment we need more than just the trailer, but I'm still very curious to see what you guys think about this.

Are We Losing the News?

I was watching a GPB documentary about mentally-ill men being released from prison, the other night, and although I very rarely watch the public broadcast channel (for reasons I'm not sure of), it was a very interesting piece and there were no commercials, which was an added bonus. Anyway, to make a long story longer, after it went off, I saw that Tavis Smiley was coming on. I had never watched the show and figured I'd see what it was about. To my surprise, he just happened to be interviewing a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist named Alex S. Jones who had written a book titled Losing the News. The interview is pretty interesting and it correlates directly to many of the things we talk about in class. I couldn't get the full interview to embed, but this is the url: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=tavi08s2fdaqb51 in case you want to see the whole thing. The video I am embedding is a 2 minute highlight. Hope you enjoy.
