Shadows of Liberty plot
A CBS News correspondent, Roberta Baskin made a story about Nike's sweatshops in Vietnam in the 1990s. She discovered that staff were brutally abused: their mouths were taped shut and they were beaten with a shoe. The report was broadcast nationally and led to protests and boycotts. But when Baskin made a sequel, it didn't air because Nike and CBS had partnered up for the winter games for which CBS had acquired the extremely expensive broadcast rights. It is one of the telling stories in this account of the limited freedom of American media. Shadows of Liberty paints the picture of a media landscape dominated by politics and conglomerates that have exceptionally great political, social and economic power.
