New Links and People, Courtesy of Orwell Rolls in his Grave
I'll start with a link to the Orwell Rolls in His Grave movie.
The director and man behind this film is Robert Kane Pappas.
Interviews with:
Charles (Chuck) Lewis, formerly of ABC News and 60 Minutes, currently of The Center for Public Integrity.
Professor Robert W. McChesney, from U of Illinois, author and keeper of freepress.net.
Mark Crispin Miller, Professor at NYU, author, active blogger.
Congressman Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont)
Vinent Bugliosi, attorney and bestselling author, on the Charles Manson trial, and on the stealing of the 2000 election.
Greg Palast, BBC investigative journalist who reported on the voting fraud in Florida, while the US media system intentionally disregarded and downplayed the story, because they had a lot to gain by having Bush in office.
Jeff Cohen, founder of watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, and former MSNBC producer.
Michael Moore, infamous gadfly.
Danny Schechter, TV producer, 20/20, author, founder of Globalvision.
Mark Lloyd, former NBC and CNN reporter, professor at MIT and founder of the Civil Rights Forum, who seem to have let their DNS registration lapse, so their homepage link now goes to a porn site. [editorial comment: imagine trying to call a friend on the line who missed paying their phone bill and being unpleasantly surprised by the sound of grunting and moaning. is this the digital nirvana we were hoping for? this is not even a question of regulation, but is a symptom of a system that will only care about decency when the money forces it to]
John Nichols, writer for The Nation, and author.
Aurora Wallace, assistant professor of Culture and Communications at NYU, and author.
Jeff Chester, head of watchdog group Center for Digital Democracy, and writer of a very interesting article on the underlying significance of the YouTube buyout by Google.

And only randomly related: here's a book I just came across about how "Bipartisan Elite" have stolen the future of the middle, and lower class, if not also many in the upper class, and how we can win it back. I haven't read it, but I'm adding it to my reading list.
