I just watched tonight's new FRONTLINE report "Big Sky, Big Money" via streaming from the FRONTLINE web site and it was REALLY good and well worth watching!

I had to watch this via streaming because Georgia Public Broadcasting preempted it to show Ellen DeGeneres getting the Mark Twain Prize and then they showed what was basically an infomercial on a weight loss program called "The Weight we were," I think, and then now they are re-playing the Ellen DeGeneres show 30 minutes later!
Don't get me wrong, I've always loved Ellen, but this is just so typical of GPB, whenever their is a FRONTLINE program that is critical of Republicans they always seem to find a way NOT to show it!!!
If you hadn't guessed yet, I'm really pissed off at GPB right now, because this is NOT the first time they have done this. I'm not sure why they do this, but I sure have a good Idea.
All the newer FRONTLINE shows are here, except for a few that the RW mafia has some how prevented them fro posting:

The streaming is really high quality and this is a must see for all here.

(9,463 posts)This is a report on just one 501c4 organization and its active involvement in American political campaigns that is so insidious as to control the outcome of elections at the expense of democracy and in the service of financially unimpeded special interests.
This is a must-see Frontline. Thank you for the post, Up2Late.
