HOLLYWOOD LIES

Even though the internet has ‘democratised the media’ to an extent, its been met with a parallel process of lies, obfuscation and manipulation.

Fact: on the day America breaches the 1500 mark of soldiers killed in Iraq not a one of them has been seen in a body-bag. This is state PR learning the lessons from ‘Nam. The other side of the coin is of course the immense success that Hollywood has had in re-packaging Americas role in world affairs. Take ‘Black Hawk Down’, or see who’s running Kalifornia (sic).

“They really do not want to discuss this, of course, in Tinseltown. They still see only their heroes and our villains. And they continue to win everything alone. Remember Steven Spielberg's D-Day spectacular Saving Private Ryan? Someone simply forgot that 72,000 British and Canadian troops were also involved. And if Hollywood is to be believed, it was the Americans who captured the Enigma coding machine from a German submarine; never mind that the Brits were there and accomplished that six months before the Yanks entered the war.”
