LFM Launch in the Media

Deep inside the LFM command bunker.

The press release covering yesterday’s launch of Libertas Film Magazine (LFM) was picked up by USA Today, Forbes, Yahoo, Jim Cramer’s The Street and over 200 media outlets – and more links are coming our way. Many thanks to those outlets for picking up on us. And a special thanks to John Miller at National Review who linked to us, and sent a lot of readers from The Corner our way. Welcome.

[As a result of this, we had a lot of traffic yesterday and the site went down briefly a few times – and otherwise slowed things down. We apologize for the inconvenience.  We think we’ve fixed the problem.]

We also want to thank our readers for all the kind emails they sent in to us yesterday – especially all the notes from filmmakers.  We’re very glad to be back, and look forward to what’s ahead.

PolitiZoid – “Money for Nothing”

We love PolitiZoid here at LFM. For those of you who aren’t familiar with PolitiZoid, it’s a political satire series created by 3D animator Bob Arvin. You can check out the full PolitiZoid series over at the main PolitiZoid site.

In this latest episode, PolitiZoid riffs off of the Dire Straits video “Money for Nothing” from 1985, with the idea that our government is currently giving out a great deal of your money (and health care, and bailouts, etc.) for nothing. Enjoy.
