Today, says Miller, the US mainstream press serves as a "mere P.A. system for the White House and the Pentagon, and has therefore absolutely failed its constitutional duty to inform the people of this country."

This run of Operation American Freedom at the Creative Alliance's newly renovated Patterson theater is the show's Baltimore premiere-and a homecoming for Miller. The author of The Bush Dyslexicon and a professor of media studies at New York University, Miller lived here from 1971-1977, when he was working for his doctorate at Johns Hopkins; and again from 1982-1997, when he taught media studies and non-fiction in JHU's Writing Seminars. His weekly radio commentaries on "The Lisa Simeone Show" (on WJHU) were very popular during their seven-year run (1988-95). Miller also established and directed a weekly film series at the Baltimore Museum of Art, bringing in such speakers as Peter Bogdanovich and Michael Moore.
"Operation American Freedom," directed by Gregory Keller, and produced by Marc Posnock and Antonio Soddu, comes to Baltimore after a five-month, almost entirely sold-out run at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York City.
