Scahill's Views on Our Government
Mediaite ^ | 6/13/13 | Meenal Vamburkar

“We have a totally bankrupt media culture in this country,” Scahill charged. The Jodi Arias trial exemplified it, he said, noting how CNN’s prominent coverage coincided with the network closing it’s bureau in Baghdad.

He hates both sides of the media, but that is not the point.

The film is about Obama destroying the Constitution and America.
