WashPost TV Critic Mourns Only Liberals Will Watch HBO Anti-Gun Film

Washington Post TV critic Hank Stuever loved the latest HBO documentary on "gun carnage," as the Monday headline has it. Online, the headline was "A deep wallow in gun-related senselessness."

It was "remarkably good" and "notably free of a direct anti-gun harangue," Stuever wrote, but he was still depressed that HBO was only preaching to the liberal choir ("people already horrified by gun violence and gun culture") and the film "won't ever be seen by those who most need to see it."

Objective reviewer I'm sure. NOT! The docudrama would only feed the lies and misconceptions that the anti's want mainstreamed. Those that believe in the constitution have no time for such drivel. Of course he liked it. I guess because it was "notably free of a direct anti-gun harangue," that must make if an objective piece. The subtle inferences have no meaning right?

Remember the days when HBO simply played movies, and MTV actually played music, and Comedy Central was funny?

By “liberals” I guess he means the homosexual “culture”.

I haven’t subscribed the H-Blows for twenty years. Nice to know I’m still not missing much.

And TLC only showed scientific stuff, and National Geographic only showed animals, and the Weather Channel only showed the weather.

If you don’t like guns, don’t own one. But, don’t expect anyone to protect you with one either.

HBO is anti gun violence? The same people who spared no ketchup on The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and other works of total bloodbath? They’re against gun violence?

Now, wouldn’t it be interesting if HBO practiced what they preached and went an entire year without showing any graphic violence. Do you think their subscriber base would expand or shrink? I think we all know the answer.

Hypocrites.

More accurately, the “anti-Christian” culture.
Homos are just a tool of this bigger agenda.

In crime statistics,
gun ownership is not the correlative factor.

Stating the actual correlative factor would get you called names in “liberal” circles.

Yes, yes, sorta.

When I was a wee lad, my neighbor was the only house on the block with HBO. We would all gather there on Saturday nights to watch the latest movies.

I actually remember MTV with Kurt Loder doing the news. I was a teenager when Kurt Cobain killed himself and remember being glued to the TV watching Nirvana Unplugged waiting for updates.

And I remember Comedy Central being a place to watch stand up acts. Now they have a mix of semi-funny movies mixed with often awkward original "comedy."

LOL! Now that there is a challenge I’m sure they would take. Refuse to show any “entertainment” for an entire year where no guns are present in any way shape of form. Come on hb-uhoh. We double dog dare you. Hmmm. Should we also include all other weaponry as well? Maybe not because it’s not actually violence if no gun is involved. Right? :>}

Exactly. Proof of that is that they never go after Muslims, who decapitate or throw from tall buildings, sodomites. Christians only say that unrepentant sodomites will go to a hell which the left doesn’t even believe exists.

Atheist core beliefs:
1) There is no God.
2) They hate Him.

I remember HBO doing an anti-gun show thirty years ago.
