"Nobody Speak" – Billionaires want to enlist you in their secret plans to take down the press

This post discusses the documentary "Nobody Speak," which premieres on Netflix on June 23.

The gusher of movies, television shows and documentaries currently welling out of Netflix can be daunting for even the most assiduous queue curator. Given that, I almost feel bad adding anything to your watch list, but I hope you’ll consider including Brian Knappenberger’s "Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press" https://www.netflix.com/title/80168227 when it becomes available tomorrow. Though you might think you know everything about Hulk Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker, or President Trump’s antipathy for the media, "Nobody Speak" still feels clarifying. It’s an argument that there is one animating force behind all of our current battles over press freedom — and against allowing reflexes of disgust or outrage to be weaponized by the wealthy individuals who want to control how they are covered.
