do "outfoxed: rupert murdochs war on journalism" its an expose on fox news tactics, by i think robert greenbald or greenwald . cant remember. but be careful, becuase there is no manipulaton of truth, but rather looks at how truth is inverted.​

i did:

fahrenheit 9/11 - by Michael Moore

*any documentary or book by michael moore would be a good related text

and i also did B.Y.O.B - by System of a down

You are definately allowed 2 use prescribed texts as related texts. You are even allowed to do it for the same topic, such as using 'Birthday Letters' as a related text for 'Frontline'.

Thank You for Smoking - relates to smaller fish to dry

and a SMH article on Mary Kostakidis walking out of the SBS due to their increased commercialism, relating to the Siege

its a better idea to have different mediums for your related texts for more diversity

i think it would be a good text and i really want to use it too and i'm trying to find notes on it. cos it is really closely related to frontline with how they focus on the lighter side of news such as the waterskiing squirrel and the panda watch. and the similarities between ron burgandy and mike moore, like how on screen they seem really professional and offscreen they act really childish and stuff like that...

so...yeah...if anyone has notes on anchorman, i'd be eternally greatful :D
