    I thought that due to the upcoming campaign cycle, this was a good time to call attention to this documentary.

    In my opinion, this film could only be made during it's specific time in history. Unencrypted satellite feeds provide a candid view into an industry that is built on careful posturing.

    In it, we see the beginnings of the religious right, the stifling of any contrary voice, and the bipartisanship of manipulation.

    Very apropos for the upcoming election cycle. Imagine how much better they are now.
