Episode: New World Notes with Kenneth Dowst - #312 - Shadows of Liberty (Part 1 of 2)
From the New World Notes blog:
A new documentary film examines how a few huge, for-profit corporations control the news media--and so control the "news." Brief history lessons on the U.S. media alternate with close looks at particular stories the corporate news media suppressed.
Amy Goodman, Robert McChesney, Julian Assange, Janine Jackson, Norman Solomon, Daniel Ellsberg, John Nichols, Dan Rather, and several other commentators appear.
Adapted to radio by Kenneth Dowst.
Shadows of Liberty was written, directed, and produced by Canadian filmmaker Jean-Plilippe Tremblay.
In Part 1:
Topics this week include two stories investigated and then suppressed by CBS News: Nike's exploited workers and evidence suggesting that TWA Flight 800 was shot down by a U.S. Navy missile. Plus the really free press in the early days of the Republic and the rise of media monopolies from the 1930s.
