This is an older documentary that is now an incredible historical document of the changes that brought our present into being.  From media ownership centralisation, billionaire funded right wing think tanks and how media is shaped it goes through a crucial time in American history.

Note, although it says 3 hours on this video, the actual documentary is just the first half.  After that they have extended versions of the shorter conversations featured in the documentary. Also the video quality isn't sharp, but try not to let that interfere with some incredibly important insights and information. 

The 2003 and 2020 "Stolen" elections

One thing I think is important is it goes through some of the evidence for why many people think the 2000 election was falsely given to George Bush over Al Gore.  It is important to go into this history, because people play a "both side-ism" game, saying that both Republicans and Democrats have questioned elections.  The difference here is that Trump claimed the 2020 election was stolen with zero evidence, instead he just asserted it.  When this was tested in the courts, often with Republican appointed judges, it was declared baseless on every occasion.  Polls, however, showed that this made little impact on the belief system of many Republicans, with up to two-thirds believing it.  Many people consider agreeing with Trump that the election was stolen to be a kind of ideological conformity test, almost in the same way as in Orwell's 1984, torture is used to make the main character admit that 2+2=5. To equate the reasons many people questioned Bush's election in Florida, with Biden's election in 2020, is a sign of intellectual bias; that for reasons other than the facts, someone wants to performatively sit in between Republicans and Democrats.  This is a sign of what Rutger Bregman calls the lack of seriousness of elites.
