i think the dole succeeded james long to find out about it by now but it was still the big. as a swedish filmmaker and journalist i always took the right of freedom of speech for granted. but i think came to learn it depends on the story you want to tell. in two thousand and nine i had made a film about a court case in los angeles where banana workers from nicaragua were suing old food company for the use of a banned pesticide that they claimed made them sterile along with other serious health effects and in november two thousand and seven the jury in the los angeles court delivered a groundbreaking verdict was found liable for malice and misconduct. my hope was that this would bring about better conditions for the farm workers to produce by us today. ever the message was extremely unpleasant so to get a film out would prove to be a journey full of obstacles. out . in the beginning or made two dozen and nine were ready to launch my film by anonymous. one morning a huge package from the us was delivered to our office. only a few days earlier we had launched the film's website

i found out that dole had bought my name on google whenever you googled my name and dole would follow. even our own movie trailer would have a darling. aggressive comments appeared in a commentary track after online articles. by grassroots on the internet. there is no question it's cool that people at the moment in strategic communications are using false identities in the virtual space to raise awareness of certain issues. if you put thirty people in a room who are paid to pretend to be brenda because now that's essentially what people are talking about with this kind of false grassroots campaigning which is and strict and that's illegal. yeah but of course they are. no question strategic communications have a stream of people they're hiring who want from traditional p.r. backgrounds and that includes former members of the security services for members of psychological operations former members of essential behavioral change industries that clearly up until recently were fairly covert as a consequence now the lines of service offering are getting a bit blurred because these people co

about the media coverage of the suit that came out against you was how easily you were a fraud and dole was wrong and the banana company was fighting for justice and. no reporter should ever take that at face value we have a astounding lack of curiosity on the part of the journalism community in the us. a lack of skepticism these journalists failed in their job they took a press release and reprinted it basically they didn't do any due diligence and that is even more shameful than the film festival disavowing you we have a media that is corrupted by power mostly by corporate power you have corporate ownership from the top you have corporate advertising coming in from the side we have a media that is where advertising and money and corporate influence is really the mother's milk. the reality is that the media is much more willing to take down stories when a company comes to them and say listen. don't write that story now because you're going to look stupid and we will go on with a massive denial and we'll go all to your media organization as well i know all the global corporations in the

los angeles it's a journalist who wants to comment on a lawsuit being brought against me from don't dole foods is suing a swedish filmmaker for wanting to show a fraudulent documentary slamming the company. based filmmaker frederick is being sued by a dollar the company claims the film is a fraud. we are suing. because we. produced a movie which is there clearly you know this much of the against the company and against our employees. it's three different lawsuits they're seeing me frederick and. the way they doing this what exactly is their strategy are we really the good it is their main object if. we do they have a hidden agenda i mean. we've become a part of our own film if you. trace a trial and now the same forces are directed against us. have you considered accommodating them in any way with the film there is nothing to accommodate their demands include stopping the film shutting down the websites i won't discuss this issue in public in the future with a lawsuit on our shoulders we worked around the clock twenty four seventh's and we have no time to engage in new film projects. luc

we don't forget those who fought for us. >> certainly, bob dole has not.would like to hear what bob dole feels about chris christie and even hillary clinton go to cnn.com/stu. >>> this is gps, the global public square, welcome to you in the united states and afternoon the world, i'm fareed zakaria live from new york. we have an important show for you today, failure to reach an agreement on a nuclear deal with iran, despite the praens of the world's top diplomats in geneva this weekend. why were they unable to make a deal? and even if they got one, would it be sellable back

i certainly respect senator dole a whole lot.nkly, you know, for about a month mitt romney won the iowa caucus and john mccain was the nominee before that. as far as our party only looking at conservatives, look, chris christie is a conservative. i think he's going to do very well in all of his endeavors. but the fact is we've got stars all over our party, candy. weav we're going to be the party that is fresh and new in 2016. it's the democrats that are going to be rolling out the same old names that you would expect them to rollout. i love our chances. i love our bench. we're going to have a great primary season come a few years from now. >> well, you know, part of the problem i'm having so many stars is that it has created certainly what looks like a rift in the republican party, certainly a difference of opinion about direction. i want to read to you something that a tea party activist said about what he perceived to be the lack of support for the virginia candidate who is tea party backed candidate. this was reported in polit

two hours before the meeting journalist started to call dole at withdrawn the lawsuit in the mail the rather surprisingly doll announced today that they will withdraw their lawsuit against frederick guaranty get a little to book it's fantastic news. even though we're a small company in sweden and dole is a us based multinational corporation and we have been able to stand up for what is right and you know there's a god obviously it's great if they withdraw the lawsuit but we haven't heard from our lawyers yet it's a press release we don't know what this means in court sahana and when we called joel this is what we heard. more. reactions and the strong concerns in sweden really moved us so it was important for us to to let people understand that we also respect freedom of speech and that's a way for us to show it. it's pretty inspiring to see the. support i mean i really doubt it would happen in canada it was heartening to see that happen from afar and frustrating to know that we can only make that happen here maybe something would change. much better to be a film director. that sparkle

what was kind of sad with the whole disclaimer thing it was really said it was exactly what dole wanted to do don't want to have a divide division between film independent and use a filmmaker you know if felt like the screenings at the festival coupled with the disclaimer and the panel discussion afterwards of colleagues and a lawyer it felt like they were punishing you and what i saw those really like like it was almost like a stage like in effect for show just to make sure that they distance themselves anough from you so that we don't couldn't come out and that just felt really really strange at that that they would do that because allison you became the pariah in the room not dull. the festival was nearly over and still no loss but all this pressure just being scouted. as i was preparing to leave los angeles i heard that goal had served the court order on the festival demanding all emails contracts recordings film footage relating to my movie. it seems like this is not over yet. i came back to sweden early july i was totally exhausted after the turmoil in l.a. . so i was actually sit

this time, it's for reportedly doling out $4 billion in tax refunds, to, get this, i.d. thieves, including 655 refunds to a single address in lithuania. what they could have bought, huh? and gary b., this is who's going to be enforcing the health care la >> it's sad, isn't it? i don't want to pick on the irs for the reasons jonas has hilighted. [ laughter ] >> i love the irs. they are good people there. but the problem is with any government agency, overseeing a big part of the administration of 20% of the economy, there's going to be ways to fraud. you go down the list -- whether it's medicare, social security, medicaid, food stamps. anything -- even if hsswas running this or the department of education, there would be fraud, waste, inefficiency. unfortunately, that's what you get with a large government where the only goal is to build your department. the irs shouldn't be doing this. it should be the private sector again like we've said for, i guess, years now, that should be only involved in healthcare because they are thenly ones accountable to a bottom line. >> ok.

and you have, you know--the biggest champion of that program for many years was bob dole, and dole was, you know, again, close friends with--with dwayne andreas. and you have a-a federal program which has certainly been heavily questioned in this city as to its social and societal value that, ultimately, is benefiting a major corporation that, in turn, is giving huge sums of money to politicians. i mean, it--it--it does--it does wreak. c-span: as you know, millions of dollars are spent by--are spent by adm to television stations to fund news programs and the "meet the presses" of this world. any evidence there that--by currying favor with the media, they get a softer treatment in this whole thing? >> guest: there--not in the book. there were certainly instances where--i'm going to be very oblique here-where people--where people in the media expressed discomfort to me when they learned that my book was about adm. and i found that a little bit surprising. c-span: why were they discomforted? >> guest: because they had relationships or--or--or--or close ties on some levels with adm. i mean
