Huge media corporations controlling most news outlets and spouting 'news' that is big business friendly and tows the line of elite power. One aspect of the film shows how colin powell's address to the united nations was not critisised at all in the US mainstream media and was accepted as the truth, whereas in the UK and more so,the rest of Europe, some of the left leaning press clearly exposed him as having no proof for his assertions (much of the left leaning media in Europe - excluding the mass of right wing Murdoch type papers - didn't readily accept his own computer generated diagrams as proof). The media in the UK is incredibly centred towards elite business power and towing the government line so it is incredible to see how utterly inept the US mainstream press is even compared to the sorry state of affairs in most UK mainstream press. The mainstream press nowadays with its corporate owners and career and 'celebrity' journalists is totally part of the establishment and unfortunately cannot be looked to for truth which would expose power, i.e the news.
