Drill, Baby, Drill

Founded by Robert Greenwald, the creator of Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price , Brave New Films has become a powerhouse in the world of viral video.
Greenwald’s latest series of political microdocs, The Real McCain , have racked up millions of views on his YouTube channel and the Brave New Films homepage. The popularity has something to do with Greenwald’s decision to step out of the way and let McCain indict himself in his own words , such as “the fundamentals of the economy are strong.”
Especially vivid are clips showing him sucking up to Big Oil, making an ass of himself on foreign policy, and flip-flopping on the Bush tax cuts.
But you don’t want to miss the ten-stop tour of his personal real estate, McCain’s Mansions: The Houses That Greed Built .
