Michael Moore observed, video from the speech on FoxNews.com edits out that applause entirely, making it appear as if Obama is bizarrely staring silently for a long period of time. The audio is cut (starting at the 0:44 mark) for the 12 seconds of applause, and then skips to another part of the speech.

Manufacturing Consent,Programming Through Mass Media
Manufacturing Consent. Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media. The film presents and illustrates Chomsky’s and Herman’s propaganda model, the thesis that corporate media, as profit-driven institutions, tend to serve and further the agendas of the interests of dominant, elite groups in the society. A centerpiece of the film is a long examination into the history of The New York Times’s coverage of Indonesia’s invasion and occupation of East Timor, which Chomsky claims exemplifies the media’s unwillingness to criticize an ally.

Outfoxed
Outfoxed. “Outfoxed” examines whether and how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch?s Fox News, have an active campaign to misinform people for personal gain. This film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the public?s right to know.
Robert Greenwald?s film explores Murdoch?s burgeoning kingdom and the impact on society when a broad swath of media is controlled by one person. Media experts, including Jeff Cohen (FAIR) Bob McChesney (Free Press), Chellie Pingree (Common Cause), Jeff Chester (Center for Digital Democracy) and David Brock (Media Matters) provide context and guidance for the story of Fox News and its effect on society.
This documentary also reveals the secrets of Former Fox news producers, reporters, bookers and writers who expose what it?s like to work for Fox News. These former Fox employees talk about how they were forced to push a “right-wing” point of view or risk their jobs. Some have even chosen to remain anonymous in order to protect their current livelihoods. As one employee said “There?s no sense of integrity as far as having a line that can?t be crossed.”

Dirty low down media
What he does in his private life is his business the world need to get some business and stop getting in others. Tiger is human and there is room for mistakes as long as god forgives him then that’s all he has to worry about, for the media and the rest of the world,you can think what you want to think. For all the reporters who ran with this story, I’ll say it for Tiger
are we really being attacked?
The two-war(Afghan,Iraq) strategy is just a marketing device to justify a high [military] budget(a pocket full of friends for the greedy) By inventing cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, most Americans are convinced that the war is just. The United States cannot successfully wage wars around the world unless the media and Congress cooperate. Iraq was not a mistake; it was a crime.
