Reply to both Sicko and Outfoxed

First of all, Rupert Murdoch is ridiculous. I always knew that FOX was a biased representation of the news but I never expected to that extent. The most disturbing thing about this film is that it basically exposes how he illegally put a stranglehold on an extremely large portion of our news. I love how so many of FOX's big names are so wishy washy about their opinions during their shows especially when viewed months apart from each other and then put side by side. It was interesting to see all of the FOX conservative anchors in relation to their liberal counterparts. They definitely appear more powerful and dominant. I can't believe how often they completely changed around what people were saying to make them look bad. That's babyback bullshit. I want the news not an opinion.

I have viewed Sicko in the past so I knew what to expect. However the first time I saw it I was blown away by what other countries were doing for their people and conversely how our government was watching people literally die in front of their eyes without taking action. Michael Moore has been known to edit down hours of footage to get to the good ten minutes of juice he needs to make a point but I don't think he had to do much of that for this film. I do like how he takes real people and helps them share their stories. If he had made the video closer to current times I wonder what approach he would've taken knowing of BarryO's impending health care plan. It is interesting to compare his movie with what is going on with our current health reform and I wonder how it will stack up on a global scale with the countries featured in Sicko.
