If you hate attack ads, Citizens United and RW big money corruption, you need to watch this!

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!

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/big-sky-big-money/

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:

Sorry, forgot to post links to two other posts from yesterday about the same subjerct:

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

If you agree please kick this post or leave a comment.

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.

It shall not be an infringement of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution for Congress to limit by law the raising and expenditure of money in public elections.
