this guy has very liberal sensibilities and is feeling himself way too much... but he makes some good points and his music is incredible, so I can forgive him for that.
While I don't agree with his politics, his point is that you cannot belive what you see and hear from ANY media- Because it is All spin and spinnable. Bush said exactly the oposite of what his remix "quotes"- but look how expertly he put thought in the presidents mouth by "remixing". How do you know that is not being done on the 6 oclock news?
yeah his thesis didn't really make sense... and he's a bit self-promoting. i saw him play at my college and it was lame... just playing mainstream tunes like gnarls barkley, unaltered. that bush thing was funny, but its been done before by DJ Shadow and Trans Am
Sadly, DJ Spooky's speech wandered more than his Trojan remix. I have no idea what his real idea was but remixing Bush is funny but not very enlightening.
Its a good point that the media is manipulated through selection/sampling, but DJ Spooky's opening and closing statements were "I'm an artist, a dj, a writer". Uh, is that your thesis?
did he just say that average people in florida are imbeciles?

He is amazing. One of the greatest artists and thinkers of our time, in my opinion. And he's such an eloquent speaker!
