Murdering the Truth in Russia - Documentary

10 Q’s for the Dalai Lama - Documentary

A blending of biography, philosophy, adventure, and politics, 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama conveys more than history, and more than answers. It opens a window into the heart of a great man and spiritual leader.

I watched this Sunday morning and thought it was definitely worth sharing. I feel as if the Tibet situation [travesty, really] is something that people think is wrong and want to help - yet many don’t fully understand the complexities of what’s going on, or the Dalai Lama’s opinion on how things should be handled.

Outfoxed - Documentary

"Outfoxed" examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public’s right to know.

The film explores Murdoch’s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person.

Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.

This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it’s like to work for Fox News.AA These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a "right-wing" point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said "There’s no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can’t be crossed." [via]

As a wise ninja once said, ‘Know your enemy’. In the case of Fox News, ‘knowing’ may put you at risk of falling victim to the fake news and it’s ignorance - so tread lightly.

Outfoxed is a documentary by Robert Greenwald which investigates the political agenda of the Fox cable news channel, it’s methods, talking heads, etc. Basically, the film shows you just how serious Fox really is about disseminating ignorance and hate - and pushing it’s own political agenda.

The Phoenix Lights - Documentary

It’s not Monday right now, but it’s definitely time for a documentary. This one is about the so-called "Phoenix Lights." Some of you may remember this fiasco, with literally hundreds of people around Phoenix reporting seeing some sort of huge mega-craft with flashing lights. At the time, the then governor held a press conference disclaiming and, basically, mocking the entire thing. Several years after his tenure we learned straight from the horse’s mouth that he was strongly encouraged by the powers that be to hold this conference.

Anyway, this is supposed to be a good documentary. Judge for yourself what happened. Continually, after the fact, we find that UFO sightings turn out to be government activities (or Nazi’s) that go unnoticed, save for by the shrewd few who happen to be looking at whatever part of the mostly deserted sky. Test pilots for new technologies are often seen laughing on the documentaries ten years later about how everybody freaked out they first time they saw a stealth bomber. On the other hand, as we’ve reported to you in the past, many fighter pilots and astronauts - directly from the glory days of American sky dominance - including Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, have reported seeing unexplained airborne… vehicles.
