Re-post from GD forum -- Michael Moore's next movie-economic justice?
Michael was webchatting at crooksandliars.com
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/07/22/crooks-liars-w...

Here is his comment: (Message #124)
>>
Doing a film on the corporate media is the most requested thing I get! but i can’t talk about the next film. It will take a year or two to do. The theme i referred to that exists in all my films is the economic system that we live under. It’s unfair, unjust, and not democratic.
>>

And then on post #365:

>>
Let me be blunt. We Americans get some pathological kick out of beating up those who are less fortunate than ourselves. We do indeed punish the poor for being poor. We have structures in place that guarantee that they will never climb out of their poverty. It’s not an accident. And it is a very black mark on our soul.

1. Let's hope that it only takes a year to complete.
That way it'll be out before the election and have a big impact.

2. I think it should be the media...but I guess even Michael Moore
is afraid of that subject. The rule the country.

3. Maybe the media angle will be part of it... how the MSM doesn't really report anything of substance
and this lack of reporting leads to even more economic injustice because the truth is not told.
