First Amendment Coalition Head to Twitter, Facebook: ‘Stop Acting Like You Are Just a Stage’ (Video)
David Snyder, the executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, is asking Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms to take responsibility for their content in the era of fake news, in the same way that newspapers and broadcasters have in the past. “One of the things that social media platforms are now reckoning with is that they are being held responsible or being asked to be responsible for their content,” Snyder said at a panel Friday on the First Amendment in the Age of Trump sponsored by TheWrap in Mountain View, California. “Newspapers and broadcasters and journalism platforms have.

CNN Orders Alex Gibney and Robert Redford Docuseries 'Death Row Stories,' Narrated by Susan Sarandon
CNN has ordered "Death Row Stories," a new eight-part original series from Alex Gibney and Robert Redford. Each episode of the series will unravel a different capital murder case, calling into question different beliefs about the death penalty and the justice system. Susan Sarandon, who won an Oscar for her role as death row minister Sister Helen Prejean in "Dead Man Walking," will serve as narrator. "The series provides stark examples of the struggle between the powerful and the powerless. The stakes -- life or death -- couldn’t be higher," said the continually prolific Gibney, who heads to Sundance with new film "Finding Fela" this month. Gibney will executive produce the series alongside Redford and Sundance Productions partner Laura Michalchyshyn, Dave Snyder, Stacey Offman, and Brad Herbert.

Some of the most memorable music videos have been horror-themed. Perhaps the most popular video of all time is Michael Jackson's "Thriller", and it doesn't get much more like a scary movie than that. Or how about Metallica's "One" video? Psychologically scary stuff. Mina Fedora now has her own spooky video to show you.
We recently got word about the video for the up-and-coming artist's song "Nightwatch", which plays out like a slasher/haunted house film, and thought we'd share. Directed by Neil Kellen and Lewis D. Chaney, the video stars Larissa Ross, Rusty James, Derek Mullins, Seth Cheek, Cindy Maples, and Megan (Jones) McGregor along with Fedora. The F/X were handled by Dave Snyder.
Take a look at "Nightwatch" below, and let us know if you think it has the makings to be the next memorable horror music video. And then check out Mina Fedora on Facebook.
