For the latest episode of the UtneCast, I sat down with film director Robert Greenwald during the 2008 National Conference for Media Reform to talk about the blurring line between advocacy and journalism.
Greenwald rose to fame with his fiery polemics against Fox News in his 2004 documentary
OutFoxed
, and private contractors in Iraq in his 2006 documentary
Iraq for Sale
. Celebrated by many on the left, and reviled by many on the right, Greenwald’s production company,
Brave New Films
, has focused on the internet in recent months, releasing short films attacking John McCain and his allies.
