I admire Brian Springer but....


What's the big deal with this movie? Were people chocked that politicians have people that help them with their arguments?

Only two segments chocked me(a little). First how Larry King offered Bill Clinton Cnn:s support, and how news stations air segments produced by the democrats and the republicans...

It also showed how the media ignores political candidates who don't support the corporation/globalization/New World Order agenda (Larry Agran), and how Bill Clinton was a fraud who spied on satellite feeds so he could pretend to know what he was talking about, and also how Clinton's folksy persona was just an act for the cameras because he would just sit motionless and look down when the cameras were off.

The documentary is more profound than that. One of the major problems in democracy as practiced by many countries today, is the almost complete disregard of the concerns of ordinary citizens and voting populace. Ordinary people have legitimate concerns and try to have them addressed by the people who seek to represent them. The movie shows how politicians avoid addressing these concerns and turn it around to say instead what they want to talk about. It's one of the reasons why many democracies today aren't working well for its ordinary citizens.
