Mainstream medias are losing sight of their only reason to exist : Truth. Looking back, this has become shockingly obvious.
The movie is brilliant in letting us into the preparing of the show, and we have the feeling all is sufficiently backed up.
Then we are confronted with the tearing apart of the story, piece by piece, first by internet users and then we realize once the power of the Neocons is upon it's victim, they won't care about truth and shout tons of lies to redirect public focus away from the topic, which was Bush's fake military service. The biggest media will surrender and sacrifice their best reporters just to keep the money flowing in.
What was it about Bush's informant, the German secret agent Curveball lying about chemical weapons in Irak? The US were told it wasn't true, but their leaders never had to pay the price to surrender the white house. Where were the medias to prevent war in Irak, Neocon's biggest lie which cost billions and thousands of lives.
The medias were the fourth power in democracies, but they are no longer a threat to governments propaganda, they have become their dogs.
This movie shows that reporters have to choose between career or truth. They can't have both, anymore. The forth power of democracies has shifted to the Internet, its unlimited communities are more effective investigators then any mainstream media on the leash.
Journalism is captured in a cage of truth. But the Internet can still use the same weapons as governments : Lies.
And while a lie is best told in between truth, reciprocity is also true.
