This was so far left I had to tilt my head to the right to watch

This is not a fair and balanced piece (sorry, Fox). It is agenda-driven and does not present the other side very well. Yes, it is interesting, but it seems so skewed that I could not take the information at face value.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Fake balance is one problem with news. There are facts and lies. Is US awash in corporate corruption?Of course and plenty of government insiders would tell you that. The lobbyists and corporations buy these politicians easy. Not to mention the number of so called regulators,politicians,etc that go work for these companies after they give them what they want in office.

The US news with its"left says this,right says that and you decide" is pathetic.I don't think Americans are stupid enough to think these politicians are serving the interests of the American public but that Americans are apathetic to this corruption.

As a Russian once said to me."The only difference between US and Russia is we know our government is corrupt".

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

... Sometimes the truth is simply the truth.

Exactly. The problem is that some people don't like the truth so they always turn to the same tired old accusation of "liberal bias." The film makers pointed out that Clinton helped assist the banking/housing/financial collapse in the US. They also pretty much trashed the current administration for promising to look out for the little guy while actually cozying up to BP in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon spill.

It's just that anyone who even remotely holds corporations responsible for their actions and, on top of that, shows a concern for the environment is automatically labeled as liberal by some of the nutjobs out there. Those people will probably never change. They are too far gone.
