Over the past month Turner Classic Movies, my favorite cable/satellite channel, has been showing a series of films with political themes. But during this past week something dramatically changed. Both TCM hosts Robert Osborne and Ben Mankiewicz were joined by co-hosts PBS anchorman Jim Lehrer and CNN anchorman Wolf Blitzer to repeatedly reassure viewers before the November election that the dramatic stories they were watching were indeed fiction, that "the system" works, that yes there are a few "bad apples" but most politicians are good and decent persons looking to do good for the nation. These movies included All The Kings Men, All The Presidents Men, and Seven Days in May, films about incipient fascism in the USA. I just about puked my guts out having to endure these mendacious mainstream media gatekeepers simply to see the films once again. The Powers-that-be must be really scared to insert such propaganda nonsense on a channel simply showing classic films.

I noticed the same thing. Then I thought it was just me, being that I'am a die-hard American and a veteran, and can see what Obama is doing to our Country.

ReplyDeletePoliticians commit criminal acts - tax evasion - fraud - sexual deviance - Associations with domestic terrorists - deliberately lie to the uninformed American people who believe the trash. They cover up criminal acts -gun running - Libya cover up - Not a single politician ever gets arrested.
Today's politicians are about themselves and their party and to hell with the Country or its people.
Supreme Court Justices sit on the bench with absolutely no actual experience as a trial judge.
America needs to wake up -
King George has returned and this time he wants to makes slaves out of us all.
5:02-Correct.All seem to be self serving.
