Rocky Mountain Heist
Friday, October 31, 2014
Citizens United's most recent film, Rocky Mountain Heist, was in the news earlier this month after a federal court allowed it to be aired as a documentary despite its lack of financial disclosures. But the issue of disclosure extends beyond the films release. It's also at the heart of the director's casting method. Bob talks with Professor Seth Masket, an unwitting cast member of the film, who recently wrote about his experience for the Washington Post.

What is evil is the effort by traditional media corporations to suppress the speech of their rivals. CU gets slammed for doing the same thing on behalf of 'the right' that Sundance-ready documentaries routinely do for the 'left'. The only difference is that the right-wing audience is not calling for FEC regulation of lefty documentaires, while the lefties are plainly trying to suppress speech they don't like. That's why such right-wing shills as the ACLU, Floyd Abrams, and Michael Kinsley supported the plaintiffs in 'Citizens United'. A point OTM does not make.
Professor Masket just demonstrated a gullibility that disqualifies him as a reliable source.
Raise your hand if you still think the GOP isn't evil.
