S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse

Halo1 writes "The Guerrilla News Network has made a great 11 minute movie, culled from over 20 hours of footage from different channels. It's a lightning fast razorsharp analysis of the post 9/11 coverage by the general media and gives you quite a different view of the politicians and their calls for war. It's insightful, frightning and funny at the same time (we need a new mod option! :). The links on the movie page go to the Windows Media version at the Sundance Online Film Festival (they're competing with that movie), but they also have Quicktime versions available locally: low and high bandwidth (links posted with permission from all involved parties)."

I guess the point they were trying to make is that GWBush is a moron. For which you do not need to make a video to prove, just watch the guy on TV for more than 10 seconds. I always get a great kick, and as soon as I see a FOX news warning about a presidential press conference, I rush to the TV (pop corn in hand) because I know that something entertaining will happen. And I really do appreciate that, a presidential appearance on TV always cheers me up, and lifts my spirits. Why? Because after seeing my beloved commander in chief for more thant 5 seconds, I can say to myself. Jeez, at least I am not *that* stupid, and hey... I guess that means I am smarter than the president of the US. And that makes me feel special you know..... Then again 98.67% of the world population and 67.49% of the primate population have more mental abilities that this moron, but none the less I feel special.....

Thank you George!

The last Little Red Corvette section reminded me that there are people in this country who don't deserve to live here. eople who just want the free ride. People who have never considered giving of themselves.

Heavens, yes! These people spend thier time running independent media, trying to scrap together enough to afford their web site bills or to publish their next issue, effectively working for free to produce articles and films in an effort to make the world better. These people dont' deserve to be Americans. The next thing you'll know they'll be bitching about social justice, spending their money and time to travel to various meetings to protest, organizing unions in places where it may cost them their jobs, or working in the Peace Corps to provide clean water to impovershed villages. God, these people are so selfish! They think life is just easy street.

The scumbags who made that waste of film will have hopefully forgotten to have gotten the rights to one of those clips and will be sued blind.

God, I hate those scumbags who take short clips of other works for purposes of commentary and political speech! If you can't afford clearances, clearly you have no right to show examples of how the media and politicians are acting! Leave the free speech for true patriots like Fox News.

Humans will always like wars -- deal with it.

Yeah, you filthy hippy liberals. Don't bother trying to change the world for the "better". Humans fundamentally like wars. Heck, we should try and start some more! Canada looks prime for the taking to me!
