    • Quotes

      Himself - Professor Emeritus, MIT: You have to get rid of this ignorant and meddlesome majority; control them, make them do the right things... all for their own good, incidentally. If they're allowed to participate, they'll make all kinds of mistakes, errors; but we, the responsible men, we know how to do the right thing - like get into the Vietnam War, and invade Iraq, and deregulate the banks so that everything crashes. We get everything straight.

    • Alternate versions
      The German / French TV version emitted by ARTE condensed the film to a mere 50 minutes.

    Informative and truthful!

    I. F. Stone, an animated and nontraditional American journalist, gained the attention of readers through his newsletter, I. F. Stone's Weekly (later I. F. Stone's Bi-Weekly), with his distinct combination of cleverness, knowledge, compassion, and incisive political analysis.

    This documentary explores many levels of the Mainstream media versus the Media of the Truth... so if we need to summarize the main idea, the conclussion would be: lies served daily!

    It is on all of us to read between the lines because these days the truth cannot be said plainly...

    Execution: successful! Legacy of I. F. Stone, a man who said that his biggest contribution was being excluded, continues...
