Reviews
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
cpzimmon-127-637040 Left wing propaganda. I am not a Republican, I am an independent who cherishes the views of the left... and the Right. Will Durant wrote " In every extreme there's a half truth" (The Lessons of History, Will and Ariel Durant, 1968). If you want to know the truth, remember that quote. I agree that it's true that the Right have their own propaganda, but the Left doesn't? Can it not be seen how terribly one sided that the media has become today, and not to favor the views of conservatives? When something is said that is obviously untrue, it's akin to hearing fingernails scratching against a blackboard. This is what I experienced when watching this documentary.
aswygert This was released three years ago, but it is more relevant in 2018 than ever before. Great history and explanation of why our country is so divided and what gave rise to a President that can spew lies and hate and it makes no difference to his supporters. It seems that half of our country is now brainwashed. It is quite apparent that those who gave this movie low marks are among the brainwashed. How do we deprogram a nation???
wvmafia I'm baffled that this was even done. The fact that ANYONE, even the most staunch liberal, would say that conservatives in the media and conservatives who are "power-brokers" would need to "brainwash" anyone in America is troubling and almost surreal. It's not even an idea worth investigating, but Jen Senko did it anyway. I saw it on my Xfinity "On Demand" list of documentaries and thought it was a comedy when I pushed "start". If you can watch this, I'd invite you to do so. After you watch it, see if you can find a place to watch the MSNBC election night 2016 coverage with Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. After watching the two video productions think about them and see if you can see where the concept of the US media having a "liberal bias" and see if you find it comical that Ms. Senko spent the money and took the time to make this "documentary". The MSNBC coverage, that was meant to be a coronation of Hillary Clinton, shows in the most tangible and in your face way that "liberal bias" is not only in existence, but it's alive and VERY WELL.Also, think about this... when looking for documentaries LIKE THIS, there aren't any and that is for a reason. Because the entire concept is laughable.Let's all "Make America Great Again".
chadcarmichael About five seconds into this, I solved the mystery of why this old WWII vet was so "angry" and "bitter" He had a condescending witch of a daughter who was embarrassed of him, who's love for him was conditioned upon his sharing her viewpoint on everything, and who cashed in on how funny her friends thought it was when she made fun of her old dad by turning it into a mockumentary after he died. The reason conservative talk radio is so successful is because people like Ken's dad work their entire lives to make sure their children want for nothing only to have their children become preachy, ignorant, self-entitled know it all who do not understand the value of family, loyalty, or respect. It's just a good thing this poor guy died before his daughter could announce to the world that he was a dottering old moron who couldn't be trusted with a radio let alone his own point of view.
