Globalisation and the Media
A documentary exploring how the mass media shape public opinion on the ‘War on Terror’ and economic Globalisation. Offers a wide range of viewpoints from broadcasters, journalists, alternative media activists, and news editors. We investigate the bias of Television news during the protest blockades of the IMF and the G8 summits.
Includes a shocking report on state suppression of alternative media in Europe. Discover how new technology, such as the internet and camcorders, is challenging the role of the traditional news gatherer.
Director, Paul O’ Connor said
“The various United States administrations has spent the last 50 years constructing the present New World Order. Aided by its powerful military resources, alongside the IMF, World Bank and the World Trade Organisation, the rules of global trade have been largely imposed to serve its own interests. This documentary explores the role of the media in this corporate led take over of the Planets natural resources.”

Yes humanity is indeed flawed and I am not claiming being poor makes someone kind etc some of the most vile scum on the streets are indeed poor. The problem is a design flaw and maybe fairnessis a myth but it is insanity to accept insanity

Good luck…Soviet …
Good luck…Soviet Union did the same thing under a different name and by the time the Revolution was complete a street asassin named Joseph Stalin killed his way to the top of the system. The more benevelant the system, the more it can be hijacked by quick thinking sociopaths. Nature always favors the sociopath not the altar-boy. Nice guys get fewer women and alway finish last, the good girls are always ing after the bad-boy, its the same thing..”fairness” is a myth, nothing is “fair”

The one and only …
The one and only enemy of all the people of the world is corporate behavior. Every corporations one and only goal is increased profit at your expense. You don’t need corporations but they need you. Grow your own food. Don’t drive, walk or ride a bicycle. Don’t watch TV. Talk to your friends and loved ones. Don’t continue to buy their useless junk. Be free and independent.

globalisation was …
globalisation was simply an excuse to get round workers rights and employment laws in the west. If india and china suddenly introduced pension schemes and workers rights etc. the multi nationals would pack up and move somewhere else so that they can enslave another nation of peasants.
