  • @Tris10 CSPAN has every aired congressional event archived on their website. Just do a search for David Simon and it should pop up. That's how I got it.

  • Where can i see the entire interview?

  • well said, cassandra.

  • David Simon pwns.

  • @DivineTrash81 This is very true of so many areas on the internet. It's amazing to think that an idea like the internet (a tool designed to give people the "freedom" to view content from anywhere in the world, and take away even the slightest power from those who may oppress) has been warped and distorted into a breeding ground for theft and piracy in the name of it being "free".

    So many complain and cry out against greed offline... then equally rejoice in free greed online.

  • Simon is clearly a bright man, but it's going to take a LOT for the public to accept a paywall-only structure for online journalism. That probably says more about us as a public than the technology itself. But there will be great resistance to this type of model. People don't want to pay for what they've been getting for free.

  • Bravo, Mr. Simon. Bravo.

  • ALSO: It's a long shot that David Simon actually reads this, but I'd love to get in touch with him. Perhaps the people intelligent enough to watch this might be fans/friends that are in contact with him?

    Let me know. Thank you.

  • Every american needs to hear this immediately while we still have a chance at saving our democracy.

    WE NEED A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION LED BY DAVID SIMON TO PUSH FOR THIS NEW, LOCALIZED, NON-PROFIT NEWSPAPER STRUCTURE WHERE JOURNALISTS ARE TRAINED AND MOTIVATED TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH AND ASK THE QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED.

    MESSAGE ME if you're serious about doing this. We need momentum NOW.

  • DAVID SIMON FOR PRESIDENT!!
