did a search on that site and here are a couple of reviews about it. NOT good.


www.sitejabber.com...

Stay away from this site. My Malwarebytes Pro caught adware from this website, and my Superantispyware identified televisionfanatic.exe as a trojan.and got rid of it. Would someone please explain to me how in the world Norton would give this site a clean bill of health??? (safeweb.norton.com/report/​show?url=www.TelevisionFanatic.com) Norton virus scan provided by Yahoo does not catch malware coming into my email either!! What's up with that? What's wrong with Norton?

And I thought the movie with Kevin Spacey was good, and still do, but the doc seems better. Abramoff is the poster child for corruption.
Here is Abramoff on 60 miutes:

Also, this is relevant imo, regarding lobbyists and crony Capitalism, and I am glad to see Bill Moyers back.


ETA: Can't find a link to the doc.
Here is a link to the movie with Kevin Spacey, and it is good too. www.putlocker.com...
Also, here is a bit from Abramoff's last interview on the Colbert Show. What a liar denialists this dude is, the epitome of political evil imo. How come he is not labeled as a terrorist?

Cool, will check it out... Inside Job did not make me puke, lol... but did make me incredibly angry. IMO, Matt Damon does an amazing job interviewing some of these crooks, for example...

At 2:08 in the documentary trailer posted by the OP...isn't that a young Newt Gingrich?

If you think their is a difference between the Republican and Democrat Parties end game then I have some farm land to sell you in Atlantis.

Because people, hackers, work to fool anti-virus software.

Never install an .exe file if you are unsure of that file. If worse comes to worse, just do a complete reboot on your computer. (and an admin should delete that link if it contains a virus)

Darn republicans...

Darn them all!

(and by them I mean most politicians not just the repubs)

Thanks for the video input, I'm watching them now. Furthermore, I too am glad to see Bill Moyers back on the air. He actually tells it like it is.

UPDATE; "Casino Jack and The United States of Money" can be viewed online for free at; www.tudou.com...

I have not seen a better laid out unveiling of cronyism, than in that Moyer interview, from the master himself David Stockman, Director of the Office of Management and Budget (1981–1985), for Reagan. He is the architect behind trickle down economics. He criticizes both left and right, Clinton, Bush and Obama.

First rule of making a documentary, especially one about politics. Have your "angle" (what we would call "spin") figured out ahead of time, and then edit your work according to your agenda. Documentaries are the opposite of what you might call "objective". Consequently, they can be made to "prove" just about anything, regardless of the facts involved.

I actually watched this this other day, Abramoff was a piece of work. I actually watched that movie about him with Kevin Spacey last year, got me interested. The local Indian tribe in my city was one of the ones he ripped off.

Sweet. Thanks for the documentary.
I'll be watching this later on tonight and passing it on to many people, online and offline.

Yeah, that was pretty revealing. This is why I said in my original OP that we must get the money out of politics or we're doomed.

On the other hand, I think that Bill Moyers and David Stockman may be a little premature in stating that Obama has done nothing to insure some accountability with respect to what Wall St. did to this nation. These things take time to investigate and prosecute and I haven't given up hope just yet. I believe that the 25 billion dollar bank settlement recently in the news is just the beginning and from what I'm hearing, we should expect some even bigger revelations coming later this year regarding criminal prosecutions. Only time will tell.

I am surprised there are not more making comments on this, especially some particular posters in mind that are there at the jump of a gun when it comes to politics.

Probably because they approve of buying politicians.
