When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This movie is so one sided it will make your head spin. I wonder how in an age of mass communication such a documentary could be made. I don't watch Fox and hardly ever listen to Rush but JFC this movie would make you think them and the collective right is the Anti-Christ. The same can be said of right wing radio and TV but this is just as ridiculous with a left POV. I literally had to stop the movie three times to keep my head from exploding by the the sheer hypocrisy. Bonus is David Brock complaining about conservatives being allowed opinions in op-eds. 🤔 People being allowed opinions other than mine that's absurd. God bless America folks.
If you need an example of leftist propaganda this film works perfectly.Point of fact, the Left has dominated academia, media, and the entertainment industry for decades. These also happen to be the greatest shapers of political opinions for the masse. If you want to brainwash a populace you need to be dominant in those three fields.It is then richly ironic that this film is accusing Fox of brainwashing when the film itself is attempting to do the same thing. It was created to distort and mislead, the two things lefties accuse Fox of doing. They are right in that Fox does this, but then Fox is merely a response to a decades long assault upon the American people by the Left from the aforementioned quarters.There is a war for your mind. Both Ledt and Right are going all out to win your heart and mind through manipulative and deceitful practices. This film is an example of that.If you are s simpleton or a leftist fanatic you will love this film. If, however, you are a person capable of critical thought you should pass on this tripe and watch an episode of Garfield and Friends. That would be a more productive use of your time then watching this bilge.
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".
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.
