Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" - Season 1, Episode 1

Aaron Sorkin's "The Newsroom" - "Opening Rant"

***

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
George Orwell

"In helping us to confront, understand, and oppose the global economy, the old political alignments have become virtually useless. (The global economy) persists because ... multinational corporations (have) discovered a terrifying truth: If you can control a people's economy, you don't need to worry about its politics; its politics have become irrelevant. In a totalitarian economy, any political liberties that people might retain simply cease to matter." 
"Another Turn of the Crank" by Wendell Berry
