p2pnet - rss feed: Sicko shows up on YouTube
p2pnet.net news:- “June 29th ….. everywhere” says the caption for a promo pic for Michael Moore’s Sicko, a massive exposé of America’s health system.
That should read ” everywhere else”.
Remember the worldwide fuss which greeted the arrival of Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 which detailed Bush administration infamies?
Double that for Sicko, and then double it again, because the mainstream media have twigged to the fact Sicko is on YouTube, “posted by at least two users in 14 consecutive video chunks,” Reuters observes.
This represents online debut # 2 because Sicko premiered unofficially on the p2p networks some time back.
It was still on YouTube when we went for a look well before the crack of dawn, this morning, together with the scores of “Michael Moore Wants to Hear From You” posts.
You could compare Moore’s rise to fame to what’s happening online with blogs, hand-made news sites, and so on, as they compete with, and beat hands down, the mainstream media, keeping people around the world informed with unspun information.
Citizen reporter Moore has shown ordinary people telling the truth are a match, and then some, for the corporate press with its distortions and lies presented as facts.
Stay tuned.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
