wow
How have I never heard of this? Thanks for uploading.
I think, if there isn't really a single top secret global cabal, just groups with aligned self-interests, then the Murdochs are way up there.
Murdochs
I noticed this maybe less than a week ago, but thought I shouldn't upload it because it's a CNN documentary. But the last CNN docu-series I upped about Netflix, Apple, Google etc was actually pretty good. I know they have a bias though, but they generally do thorough reporting, so this Murdoch series might also be worthwhile.
Well that's true
I don't think any media outlet, or even person, is all bad.
I was watching a good VICE doc called "This is What Winning Looks Like", it's worth a watch, and on YouTube even. To be fair it's from 2013 before they went totally down the woke rabbithole.
I mean CNN hate Fox, but we should all kinda hate Rupert Murdoch. I collected some Panorama docs about him, there's also various movies and series about life at Fox News which I found very interesting. They do have a point.
Maybe I'm wrong, it could be pure propaganda. It could also be a genuine filmmaker hired from outside the CNN cult belief system. IMDB doesn't give much away.
Some of these people are knowingly out to push a certain point of view, for sure, but on the other hand some clearly genuinely believe what they are promoting is for the best of humanity, the issue is no-one is talking them out of it, I think.
oh god
5 minutes in I'm not sure if I can stand the style of it, it's edited for ADHD and a bit sensational.
it's the music.
This was made by retards for retards.
I'm sure it's reasonably historically accurate, but I'm not expecting it to contain the dissection of power that this subject really needs.
Yeah, that doesn't really
Yeah, that doesn't really surprise me much and was one of the reasons I wasn't going to upload it originally! Not just poor production, but maybe also that CNN connection too, that they made it that way on purpose...
I never planned on watching it either way! lol
