This isn't a time for Christian charity towards Fox. In the U.S. the
arts are *always* a target -- esp. during an economic decline. For
example I've just been appraised by the Arts Council in State of New
Jersey that all individual artists grants have been suspended
indefinitely. The SF Cinematheque is one of the key institutions that
supports what we all do and I'd hate to see it lose $25,000 in federal
grant money because of this kind of manipulation. That could be a death
blow for an arts organization like Cinematheque. I would hope that this
is as obvious to us as it is to Fox: power does not depend on repression
but on creating consent by manipulating discourses and in the end
controlling what people can know.
