PBS/Independent Lens "The Smartest Guys In the Room" (ENRON) |
|
This is on PBS now here, in Houston, @ 12:05 am, and the picture is blacked out. I'm hearing it, but there is no pic.
Every other station/channel works. :wtf:

They don't seem to carry many real PBS stations, just a generic feed that is the same for several dozen cities,
I had this on DVD at one point but one of the times I sent my worthless Apple iBook away for service I left it in the DVD drive never to be seen again!

I was playing myself in scrabble and listening to the sleazy exploits of Jeff Skilling, not surprisingly it snuck into the game, I formed both "asshole" and "pig".
As if the programme wasn't frustrating enough, I got that Cardigans (?) song "love me love me" stuck in my head all night!

6. I saw that last week. Man, they raped California, they raped their investors. |
|
they caused death and meyham by instigating rolling blackouts, they put Ahnold into office.
An amazing story when it's all put together.

7. PBS doesn't mention Enron's ties to CIA and employees using company cover |
|
Leave it to the Enquirer Enron-FedGov Corruption: CIA Used in Corp Espionage, Rackets http://www.apfn.org/enron/fedgov.htmto tell the story.

9. I had taped that about a week ago, watched it yesterday. |
|
It really held my interest. Those a-holes should have been tarred and feathered, at the very least.
Enron had a culture of assholery. This was brought out in the show, although they didn't use those words.
That's disgusting that they blacked it out in your area. NFW that was due to "technical difficulties." Still, from just the audio you can get a lot out of it.
