[Morgues]

Anyone got a list of important quotes for each episode? There isn't really anything like that on the HSC kidz website

Alla's table of techniques has a number of quotations, but you're probably after something more.

does any1 hav any good ideas about sum related material &&&&&& particularly in what ways 2 linkit 2 the episodes????

 

[kannonboy]

wag the dog (1997, with Robert de Niro) is awesome..
link to the siege via mercenary nature of journalism etc

also any tabloid mag or newspaper or current affairs show is considered a "primary source" and markers like that kind of thing.
Just compare camera shots, "noddies" and "walkies" from 60 minutes to Frontline

The Quiz Show (Hollywood Movie) can be linkd to Frontline pretty easy as it was based on a true story about a fixed American game show in the 1950s where, like Frontline, the manipulation was a result of the pursuit for ratings. Here are some links to it and it contains some quotes like:

"It isn't like we're hardened criminals here - we're in show business."

"Why fix them? Why not just make the questions easier? The audience doesn't want to see the contestants - they want to see the money."

here's the links anyway.....

also the song Hurricane by Bob Dylan can be linked to Frontline by saying how a public figure is used to influence the audience and their perspective on what the truth is...

http://graphicwitness.com/carter/cleveland.html
The above link is a review of the song and its implications of distorting the truth

http://graphicwitness.com/carter/song.html
And this link takes you verse by verse of Bob Dylan's song and comparing it with the facts supported by official documents regarding the case....
