Netflix dropped the trailer for its new media documentary “Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press” Friday, which details recent high-profile case of billionaires using their considerable power to mold, silence, and even destroy media outlets whose coverage they disagree with. The movie most notably serves as an account of Hulk Hogan’s $140 million lawsuit against Gawker for publishing a sex tape of the former wrestler — a lawsuit funded by PayPal co-founder and literal vampire Peter Thiel which resulted in the website’s bankruptcy and dissolution.
The documentary uses the Hogan/Gawker lawsuit as a jumping off point for other attacks on the press, including Sheldon Adelson’s secret purchase of the Las Vegas Review-Journal to prevent negative stories about his businesses and partners, and finally, Donald Trump’s war against the media and the phenomenon of “fake news” — or for the president, news he doesn’t like.
