The Internet has transformed business, politics and culture – but will a corporate agenda kill freedom of the web? With radio and television dominated by mega-corporations, more and more Americans have turned to the Internet for news – but a recent court ruling gives Big Telecom more control over broadband. Bill Moyerstalks with FCC Commissioner Michael Copps to discuss the future of “net neutrality,” the fight for more democratic media and the future of journalism in the digital age. And, as President Obama makes the case for strong financial reform, Bill Moyers sits down with veteran regulator William K. Black, who says Wall Street is already breaking current rules.
Press freedom is under attack
As Trump cracks down on political speech, independent media is increasingly necessary.
