Re: Hacking Democracy Airs Just Before Midterm Elections! (fwd)

[Lou Puls <lpuls@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't it interesting that this important investigative documentary is only finally allowed to be broadcast to a restricted, largely irrelevant audience (ever-seeking more mafioso-violence) at a point in time far too late for the few corporate news media with any integrity to be stirred into an opportunity to cash in on dying network advertising and primetime eyeball-share. 

If such a non-sports-all-the time bar exists, please let me know.
