Globalisation and the Media
A documentary exploring how the mass media shape public opinion on the 'War on Terror' and economic Globalisation. Offers a wide range of viewpoints from broadcasters, journalists, alternative media activists, and news editors. We investigate the bias of Television news during the protest blockades of the IMF and the G8 summits.

Includes a shocking report on state suppression of alternative media in Europe. Discover how new technology, such as the internet and camcorders, is challenging the role of the traditional news gatherer.

Director, Paul O' Connor said
"The various United States administrations has spent the last 50 years constructing the present New World Order. Aided by its powerful military resources, alongside the IMF, World Bank andthe World Trade Organisation, the rules of global trade have been largely imposed to serve its own interests. This documentary explores the role of the media in this corporate led take over of the Planets natural resources."

It would fall under assault so yeah, the person would be arrested. You can't attack someone like that. Not terrorist, just a criminal. Don't stifle free speech with silencing acts and cowardly attacks. If you have something worth saying then people will listen. You don't need to humiliate the other side to make your point.

Only Brits could throw pies like that. In America, they'd immediately arrest you, label you a "terrorist", and/or sue you.

I hate globalism, but the corporate elites love it! All the elites love globalism, the common person would rather not have it.

This is not spam. Its a plea to help amy goodman and her team. They got unlawfully arrested while covering the last republican national convention.

HMMM..makes me wonder why the media and Hollywood love Obama so much, but do not criticize him at all. Is it because he is black? All the American lemmings are going to be real sorry. Just wait and see.

'spaz3586' "Diamonds are a girls best friend" the Marylyn Monroe song, and codeword used by industrial protesters quietly going about their business, undetected, but sabotaging the machinary of industry. diamond bort(crushed diamond from scrap diamond saws etc.) incorporated into grease. slow-blow fuses, instead of quickblow! The police have no idea who to arrest. except visible protesters on the streets. That just adds fuel to the covert sabotage fire. Idustrialists go bankrupt! Tough Justice.

The last five minutes were pure horror.19:30 "None of the mainstream media reported the violence inflicted on their fellow journalists"

The conclusion is inescapable, and pure logic. why would propagandist's who are only pretending to be journalists, care about genuine journalists? The mainstream media exclude real journalists. not hire them!

These are brave people and I tell them " You are what we need"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is only one truth and no one will ever know it watching mainstream media. This world needs more and more people like this, ones who are willing to sacrifice to show the TRUTH. Can't say enough on how grateful I am too see this.

When the next revolutionary wave hits the world, people will have power that previous generations could only have dreamed of. If done correctly it could be the key to a successful world revolution.

EM101010101 (August 22, 2008 at 12:46 pm)
i think thats great on chinas part , its nice to see somthing as totally bullshit as religion be controlled, somthing based on total fiction should have no more place in society than anything else .
