I hope I've posted this in the right place. I recently heard about the 2010 Supreme Court case Citizens United v. FEC, which dealt with regulations on how much organizations could spend on political campaign spending. I really don't know much about the case, other than it was decided in favor of corporations having no limitations on campaign spending, but it wasn't long after looking it up that I stumbled across this Youtube video: http://youtu.be/k5kHACjrdEY, which is the subject of my post. I understand that corporations aren't angels of the free market by any stretch of the imagination, but this video was extremely biased and its animation was a pretty poor representation of reality. My problems with the video are the glorification of democracy, the use of completely one-sided animation (pretty propagandistic, if you ask me), and the use of polls as if they're fact ("85% of Americans believe X"). Oh, and when you're finished with the video, look at the description: "And, for all you fact checker out there," (I guess there's only one fact checker) accompanied by a link that literally is just a description of the video and credits. So... no sources. Beautiful. I was wondering what you all think of this video. Happy to hear what you think.
