“Sound of Freedom” has been surprising the movie world this week, blowing away other movies at the box office, including things like the new Indiana Jones movie. But even though it’s based on a true story of a hero fighting child sex trafficking, the liberal media seems to be going out of its way to smear the movie and its star, actor Jim Caviezel, as “QAnon” related because it fights sex trafficking.
We saw this take from stories in the Guardian and Rolling Stone as well as other media outlets. In contrast, several outlets criticizing “Sound of Freedom” now defended the offensive movie “Cuties” that sexualized children.
But CNN took it even a step further during a discussion about the film between host Abby Phillip and Mike Rothschild, who has authored a book on QAnon. Phillip claimed that the movie and its star are “raising eyebrows among critics.” She said some think the movie “caters to QAnon conspiracy theorists,” although the distributor, Angel Studios, denies those accusations.
Then the pair attacked actor Jim Caviezel, saying he “embraced” QAnon terms and concepts.
On The Sound of Freedom, CNN says child sex trafficking is real, but "these films are created out of moral panics… it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings." Do you want more QAnon because this is how you get more QAnon. pic.twitter.com/IsIRWVp1X3

They were forced to admit that sex trafficking was a real issue, but then they immediately attacked the movie over it, with Rothschild claiming the movie was “created out of moral panics.”
These films are created out of moral panics. They’re created out of bogus statistics. They’re created out of fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites and only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Caviezel, and by extension, only people like the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down. So, there’s a very participatory element. You’re not just going to see a movie, you’re just killing two hours on a hot day. You are helping bring down these pedophile rings and save children. Now, it’s not true, but it’s a very comforting and it’s a very warm feeling to have.
What a strange attack this is. Because QAnon is against child sex trafficking, that should make you not want to watch this movie? How dare you be concerned about child sex trafficking or simply like the movie? These characters want to paint people who view the movie as part of a “moral panic” or “bogus statistic.” And I don’t know about “moral panic” — I think most Americans take issue with child sex trafficking and would cheer the movie’s premise fighting it. So it seems to me the problem lies more with the people who are attacking it.
Maybe CNN should be checking its own house too?
Bad look CNN.

As Variety’s Owen Gleiberman explained:
“You needn’t hold extreme beliefs to experience ‘Sound of Freedom’ as a compelling movie that shines an authentic light on one of the crucial criminal horrors of our time, one that Hollywood has mostly shied away from… A closing title states — accurately — that there are more people enslaved now, by sex trafficking, than there were when slavery was legal.”
They seem to want to attack it for political reasons, which downplays the real issue. What they should be doing is asking what they can be doing to help stop this horrible abuse. So one has to ask why?
The media praised Cuties but criticizes the Sound Of Freedom. That should tell you everything you need to know.

You’re kidding me.
Sound of Freedom was literally BASED ON A TRUE STORY!!!
Why is CNN hosting a panelist who is actively UPSET about SOF supporters wanting to TAKE DOWN child sex rings?!? pic.twitter.com/UjP1s5Vs1N

Isn’t it based on a real person and event? How is that something cobbled together out of conspiracy theories?
The left marginalizes QAnon like they did birthers. We all know what that means. QAnon is a dire threat to the DC child sex ring.
Demons howl in protest.

The film had a better opening then the flop Indiana Jones.
Pedorasts stick together.
Pedos are freaking out.
May this movie wake up the nation and give them something to really freak out about!
They raised hell about the pizzas too. And had all their defenders and abettors out in force to discredit.
CNN, the Child Neglecting Network!
Of all the movies to attack...
The corporate media are disciples of the devil.
A true statement. 👍
Watch Jordan Peterson’s related interview and hear what it means to be liberated.

What a strange criticism by CNN. The Audience supposedly thinks they’re going to take down child sex slavery rings by watching the film? I haven’t heard anybody claim any such thing. The film - based on a true story, not a “moral panic” about some pretend widespread evil like White Supremacy for example - brings attention to this issue and raises awareness of it.
While we are on this subject, why is it that the corporate media doesn’t want to talk about it? Its difficult to imagine something more horrific than enslaving children for purposes of sexually abusing them. Yet they are very reticent to discuss this issue. Why is that? - all the explanations I can think of for what possible motivation they would have to try to bury this issue aren’t good.
TWO CNN employees were busted on child exploitation charges over the last couple of years. Look it up.
I’d put that in CNN’s face 24/7.

Yikes 😳
.
CNN’s guilt driven hysteria is only helping create a Streisand Effect. The more they scream “don’t look at it”, the move folks will go see it. Good!
So they’re in favor of sex trafficking? I’d point out that lots of left-leaning films are full of crap.
