The Media Monopoly in American Journalism

Overview

Shadows of Liberty presents the phenomenal true story of today's disintegrating freedoms within the U.S. media, and government, that they don't want you to see. The film takes an intrepid journey through the darker corridors of the American media landscape, where global media conglomerates exercise extraordinary political, social, and economic power. The overwhelming collective power of these firms raises troubling questions about democracy. Highly revealing interviews, actuality, and archive material, tell insider accounts of a broken media system, where journalists are prevented from pursuing controversial news stories, people are censored for speaking out against abuses of government power, and individual lives are shattered as the arena for public expression has been turned into a private profit zone

    Speaking truth to power is a dangerous game not to be played by the faint-of-heart. I remain unconvinced that any among us would sacrifice power for truth; it is and always will be the fundamental flaw of human nature. I don't recommend this film to anyone who believes otherwise; watching it will only perpetuate that delusion....
