GostHacked Posted April 24, 2008 Report Posted April 24, 2008 eyeball: have you ever seen this doc.militainment it is 2 hours long http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-2373519247173568764 worth a watch gosthacked may like it also. Can't view it from work here, but I am guessing it is the Hollywood/Military documentary. It shows how the Military will gladly loan equipment and personnell for a movie that depicts the military in good light, and also how the military either charges out the ass or does not get involved in the first place if the movie depicts the military in a bad light. There are close ties between Hollywood and the US Military. We can also see how Hollywood 're-enacts' or 'recreates' or 'based on a true story' or whatever. The results of some research 20 years back should give us a good indication of this. We should do some research and find out how 'war' films were made over the past 20 years. How many got US Military support, and which did not, and what the end result in box office numbers are for those movies. Then we can compare box office numbers to awards for those said movies. Right-Wing There is no left or right wing. It is two arms of the same entity. Playing with each other while playing with the fooled that is the population. Let's you, and him fight. You are being played. Divide and conquer even works for a government when they need to polarize anything. We are the ones being divided and conquered. We are the ones being pulled to the 'left' and the 'right'. We are the ones made fools by the whole process. Quote
eyeball Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Posted April 25, 2008 eyeball: have you ever seen this doc.militainment it is 2 hours long No but I saw the trailers...the news...so to speak. My bullshit filter acted like 3D glasses which revealed a lot more than meets the eye. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
kuzadd Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 This the is best article I have ever read on the left wing media bias in Canada. Proof once and for all that the media is dominated by left wing types.(Part1) (Part2) anyone can find any number of descriptive comments wrt anyone, "right" "left " or otherwise. Quote Insults are the ammunition of the unintelligent - do not use them. It is okay to criticize a policy, decision, action or comment. Such criticism is part of healthy debate. It is not okay to criticize a person's character or directly insult them, regardless of their position or actions. Derogatory terms such as "loser", "idiot", etc are not permitted unless the context clearly implies that it is not serious. Rule of thumb: Play the ball, not the person (i.e. tackle the argument, not the person making it).

Operation Hollywood - The Military Involvement With Movie Making Militainment is different, it covers not just hollywood, but the news, propaganda such as Jessica Lynch and the pulling down of Saddam's statue, video gaming and much ,much more...............

gc1765 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 But if the MSM is so dominated by the left, why didn't it blow the whistle sooner or even immediately? Because that would be unpatriotic... Quote Almost three thousand people died needlessly and tragically at the World Trade Center on September 11; ten thousand Africans die needlessly and tragically every single day-and have died every single day since September 11-of AIDS, TB, and malaria. We need to keep September 11 in perspective, especially because the ten thousand daily deaths are preventable. - Jeffrey Sachs (from his book "The End of Poverty")
