The whole thing is worth listening to but the relevant part is from 4:35 - 6:15. More true today than ever and if he said this today he would be lambasted.

Good video, thanx.
You know, you can cue up a Youtube to the start of the exact time of the part you want to highlight.

Roger Ebert would go on to ignore his own advice and become one of America’s most loathsome Liberals.

Sane, clear, and concise. Thanks for posting.

Wokeness is political correctness on steroids, and it long ago escaped from college campuses. If the pendulum keeps swinging left, is it a pendulum?

Siskel wasn’t far behind with his “lib” nonsense. I still remember his criticism of THE MOUNTAIN MEN (1980) calling it one of the most racist films he had ever seen.

Ebert never advocated shutting down people he disagreed with.

I like how Siskel says that people who have the courage to defy PC will be empowered because they will see that they are not destroyed.

Meanwhile, leftists actively destroy the lives of anyone who has the courage to defy PC. Oops Gene, you leftist boob, you understimated just how evil your own fellow travelers are.

I've always said that they day the left thinks they have enough power that they can get away with it they will set up the firing squads. Well, this whole cancel culture proves it. If they will destroy your life and make you an un-person then it shows they lack any form of compassion or humanity. They will gladly line up to watch the firing squads do their work and high five each other as each body falls.
