Sunday's Stephanopoulos-McCain Interview Leaked (from Brave New Films)
I'm on their mailing list, and received this today. Cool stuff. I have shortened the e-mail I received, but enjoy:

Dear Supporter,

Last week's Democratic debate in Philadelphia was an abysmal display of journalism. By sticking to trivial topics for half of the debate, ABC sought to provoke controversy without asking the candidates serious questions.

Ironically, the mainstream media have been giving John McCain a free ride while trying to pin Clinton and Obama with manufactured "gotcha" questions. So there's no reason to think ABC's brand of pseudo-journalism won't continue tomorrow morning, when George Stephanopoulos will interview McCain on his show. Here's a satirical look at what that interview might be like.

Watch the video: http://bravenewfilms.org/watch/22085590/36224?utm_source=rgemail

We can't let the FOXification of the mainstream press continue. What's more, we can't allow journalists like Stephanopoulos to give John McCain a free pass. What are the satirical questions you think Stephanopoulos and his colleagues should be asking McCain? Post them to the website and let us know just how shoddy their journalism has become. We'll award the best (meaning worst) satire. It's high time we hold ABC to higher journalistic standards!

Yours,
Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Team

1. When the corporate media fail to do their job
we're left with no recourse other than becoming the media ourselves. Kudos to Robert Greenwald & the Brave New Team!
