After watching the rest of the film, I would first like to say that I find it completely appalling the way the voting incident between Gore and Bush REALLY was. It is ridiculous that one out of eight ballots were voided in the black community and only one out of every two hundred were void in the white community and the way the machines were even set differently. And after the whole incident, nothing was reported through the media, like we were all just supposed to not acknowledge or just forget it even happened. Has the media now just become some sort of brainwashing mechanism in order for the government to gain more power? Since when was it okay that the government and media intertwined? Doesn’t that completely defeat the purpose of a democracy and peoples’ freedom of speech- saying things the way they want them to be said instead of being required to censor the news and manipulate it in a way that appeals to the government?
