Globalisation and the Media
A documentary exploring how the mass media shape public opinion on the 'War on Terror' and economic Globalisation. Offers a wide range of viewpoints from broadcasters, journalists, alternative media activists, and news editors. We investigate the bias of Television news during the protest blockades of the IMF and the G8 summits.

Includes a shocking report on state suppression of alternative media in Europe. Discover how new technology, such as the internet and camcorders, is challenging the role of the traditional news gatherer.

Director, Paul O' Connor said
"The various United States administrations has spent the last 50 years constructing the present New World Order. Aided by its powerful military resources, alongside the IMF, World Bank and the World Trade Organisation, the rules of global trade have been largely imposed to serve its own interests. This documentary explores the role of the media in this corporate led take over of the Planets natural resources."

HMMM..makes me wonder why the media and Hollywood love Obama so much, but do not criticize him at all. Is it because he is black? All the American lemmings are going to be real sorry. Just wait and see.

'spaz3586' "Diamonds are a girls best friend" the Marylyn Monroe song, and codeword used by industrial protesters quietly going about their business, undetected, but sabotaging the machinary of industry. diamond bort(crushed diamond from scrap diamond saws etc.) incorporated into grease. slow-blow fuses, instead of quickblow! The police have no idea who to arrest. except visible protesters on the streets. That just adds fuel to the covert sabotage fire. Idustrialists go bankrupt! Tough Justice.

The last five minutes were pure horror.

19:30 "None of the mainstream media reported the violence inflicted on their fellow journalists"

The conclusion is inescapable, and pure logic. why would propagandist's who are only pretending to be journalists, care about genuine journalists? The mainstream media exclude real journalists. not hire them!

These are brave people and I tell them " You are what we need"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is only one truth and no one will ever know it watching mainstream media. This world needs more and more people like this, ones who are willing to sacrifice to show the TRUTH. Can't say enough on how grateful I am too see this.
