The Movie the Media Does Not Want You to See!
Clear Channel neglects its emergency system, disaster strikes, and people die. Pentagon Pundits profit from the same war they promote. Fox News gets a court ruling that news does not have to be true. And Hate Radio Rules.
Media Policy is killing people in this country. Literally. And it is harming our democracy, too. Lies and misinformation are churning our Union into chaos.
Until now. We the People are taking the media back!

Who is the Don't Tell Clear Channel Band?
This story begins with Bruce Springsteen.
Bruce had given us permission to use his song "Your Hometown" in Broadcast Blues. But then the Boss released a new album and was embarking on his 2007-2008 Magic Tour, and he called to renege the deal. His representatives said that if Bruce played in Broadcast Blues, he would risk pissing off Clear Channel. That could potentially mean no airplay for his album, and no concert tour at all, as Clear Channel dominates both the radio stations and the concert venues. So no Boss in Broadcast Blues. (If Bruce Springsteen can't stand up to Clear Channel, who can?)
Next, we needed our theme song recorded, and so we contacted some professional musicians in Nashville. They said they could record the song, but they would have to do it anonymously, because if Clear Channel found out, they would ruin their careers.
So we put together the anonymous "Don't Tell Clear Channel Band." Who are the musicians? Keep guessing!
