It seems like the stories we're being told about politics are at some kind of weird dividing point.

In the TV news world - everyone is bending over backwards to be 'balanced' and objective - the New York Times puts a front page story on the Sunday paper about John Kerry making his staff 'scurry around' to find out information about Medicaid premium increases. How dare he. And at Viacom, Chairman Sumner Redstone says he's supporting Bush because 'he's voting for his business, not his personal politics.' Ok, fine if that's what people want to do - they're call, I guess.

But meanwhile, films like Outfoxed and F911 are selling out theatres, generating tons of media, and telling stories that the mainstream media seems to not want to touch. It may be that subjects like Outfoxed could never be on TV (it's the pot calling the kettle black) but in theatres... they're doing just fine.

Now we're days away from "Going Upriver" the George Butler movie on the early days of John Kerry's career. It opens on 10/1 on 200 screens.

This will be interesting - because Vietnam isn't the kind of topic that brings people out to the theatres... but this is an opportunity to cast a vote with a $10 movie ticket... should be interesting... maybe even a surprise if it exceeds expectations...
