Movies and Reality in the USA

In 1940, Charlie Chaplin Jr. released his first dialogue motion picture “The Great Dictator.”  He played a character named Adenoid Hynkel and his likeness, right down to the mustache was that of Adolph Hitler. It was in true Chaplin form, a comedic satire, mocking Nazism. Some American politicians were offended by the dictating buffoon Chaplin portrayed in “The Great Dictator.” The buffoon was out-witting and out-lasting his reel-time enemies. The offence was not forgotten and later was rekindled and heightened during the McCarthyism era. Chaplin was accused of un-American activities and was suspected as a communism sympathizer.

A gifted story teller, director, writer and producer leaning toward the left in politics, was being spied on by the FBI keeping extensive secret files on him. Eventually tiring of the FBI pressure Chaplin announced: “Since the end of the last war I have been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups; I find it virtually impossible to continue my motion picture work.” He then gave up his US residence and returned to Britain.

The Liberal Lexicon: A Language of Dishonesty

Recently I have noticed the liberal media being called the “dinosaur” media. It fits! Viewer ratings on liberal media TV news shows are at all time lows and continue to sink. Liberal news papers are losing subscription, laying off staff and closing down operations. The once media giants are becoming irrelevant. The leading source of news is now talk radio and conservative talk shows lead the ranks. Rush Limbaugh has more listeners than ABC, NBC and CBS combined.

Yet, liberals continue to deny the obvious. They fail to comprehend why their media’s rating continue to sink. Liberals fail to admit consumers recognize the media’s primary objective is to promote the liberal agenda and regurgitate the liberal democrat party line. It misrepresents facts to support its liberal bias, creates stories or exaggerates events if they believe the misinformation will promote the liberal agenda. The evidence of liberal media bias, dishonesty, propagandizing and misreporting is so overwhelming that it would take volumes larger than the U.S. tax code to document. [Read more…]

Embryonic Stem Cell Research: A Liberal Device to Justify Abortion?

Liberals do not miss an opportunity to force feed propaganda and misinformation via Hollywood. One expects fantasy from Hollywood, but it is disingenuous for Hollywood to advocate the liberal agenda under the guise of “docudrama” or productions that it purports to be objective. A case in point is a recent episode of Law & Order.

While I am a fan of Law & Order, occasionally I can hardly stomach the liberal propaganda spewing forth as fact. This was never more evident than episode 384, Season #17, “Talking Points” that aired Feb. 2, 2007. In this episode a college student was shot and killed by a grad student, Malcom Yates (allusion for Michael J. Fox) attempting to kill a speaker, Judith Barlow (allusion for Ann Coulter) for her open criticism for “embryonic” stem cell research that Yates advocated would provide a cure for his Parkinson disease.
