If anyone knows of any good documentaries, list them here. A few good ones I recently watched are:

"Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism" - a study done on Fox tactics that always praise Bush yet belittle Kerry, how rhetoric and careful wording is used to blur the line between opinion and actual reporting of fact...overall a really good documentary.

"Orwell Rolls in His Grave" - another documentary about the media and the FCC "deregulation", specifically how, beginning with the Reagan administration, news corporations have been allowed to buy up more and more news media outlets, and therefore means of filtering news to the public. I actually like this one much better than Outfoxed because Outfoxed tends to come off too pro-Democrat and fails to criticize other news networks enough. I found that this focuses more on the bigger picture of what's wrong with the whole concept of such a small group providing the illusion of a variety of choices in television, newspaper, etc.

The movie "The Corporation" has some obvious political implications. Two movies I have yet to see are "An Inconvenient Truth" and "The Hunting of the President".

There was one about Salsilito and how hippies built houses on boats left behind from WWII and how they paid nothing for a hell of a long time and how the police tried to stop them cause they didnt like the "community" AKA long hair and acid
