    I'll take a look.

    I will assume there is great emphasis on " the failed economic policies of the previous administration" seeing as how it's a PBS productions and was touted on m s n b c today.

    No, not at all. First of all, if you can't even accept Frontline as a great source of information, and find that to be a suspicious liberal plot, welcome to Crankville. Here's your name tag.

    Second of all, it's not what you imagine. It's a blow-by-blow of the financial collapse, complete with interviews with many of the key players. The website is also really thorough.

    Perhaps Fox News will create 5 hours of well-sourced programming on the financial collapse that's more suited to your tastes, but I'm guessing they won't.

      well considering it wasn't any one presidents fault, but a combination of events that stem all the way back from the Clinton(maybe even Bush sr) administration, it would be a bad documentary if it did.

        But if they did you'd be suspicious. 😉

        BTW It was mostly the m s n b c Praise that makes me leery...

          Ha. It's really good stuff, you nutbag. Just watch it. You'll like it.

          PS - Of course Fox News wouldn't make me suspicious. Everyone already knows they're a Republican political organization. They're not a news organization in any real sense. Frontline, on the other hand, is surely the best news program on television. And the best nightly news program is also on PBS.

          Some people do news, and take news seriously. Some take it less seriously. It should hardly be a surprise that you don't see anything even remotely like this program on Fox. It's not what they do. It's not what their mission is.

              I have not watched it or recorded it.

              But can you guarantee that Frontline who happens to be a media extension of the Federal government will tell all the truth and nothing but the truth?

              Many people like to go to different news outlets they are politically bias to. It is sometimes like preaching to the choir.

              Afterall the Fed does hand over $250 Million per year to PBS.

              Head or Gut?

                Any time there is a human involved there is no guarantee.

                Only 15% of its funding comes from the Fed, not sure if $250mil is right(might be in the $350-$400mill range)

                *after a Google search For fiscal year 2010, $281m out of CPB's $422m appropriation went to public television, $210m to local stations and $71m to PBS directly My link

                  You may just get parts three and four that way. You can watch one and two online.

                      Nice, my roommate bought two of those for his dad and brother before he left to go back home. Easier to buy them here than in his country.

                          I watched the first one, it was interesting and mostly devoted to Wall Street and the inception and evolution of the credit fault swap derivatives. It touched on the federal govt throughout GH Bush adm, Clinton and GW Bush admins.

                          I hope the second one really gets into what I believe to be the fault in the matter, and that being Barney Fags oversight into freddie and fannie by ignoring the concerns raised by GW Bush administration. Oh ya thats right its Bush's fault.... thats what Obama wants me to believe?🙄

                            FairHooker just nailed it.

                            I wonder how they get away with it.

                            Like the Dems wrote a bill to cut interest on student loans in half.

                            It ends this year.

                            And now, Obamao and his marxist ilk, are blaming the Republcans,

                            and saying they want to double student loan interest rates.

                            Same thing as Barney screwing up the works.
