Greider presents a populist indictment of Washington political culture
on the grounds that it has sold out to corporations, lawyers, lobbyists,
money, and special interests. Nothing works anymore, from the regulatory to
the legislative process. All you need is slick PR, or the money to buy it.
Scientists from polluting corporations bamboozle the EPA with mountains of
questionable data, tax cuts for the rich are sold as tax cuts for the little
guy, the labor movement gets its head handed to it by corporate lobbyists,
and shameless scholars prostitute themselves for a think-tank corner office
by promoting clever trickle-down disasters for the middle class. Our rotten
one-party system goes on and on this way, because insider journalists are
paid big bucks to pretend that this system's subtle two-party nuances are
worthy of our exclusive and undivided attention. Film at eleven.
