The new Christian Bale film 'The Promise' won't be out in theaters until Friday, but it's IMDB rating has already been tanked by tens of thousands of one-star reviews. In the film, set at the end of the Ottoman Empire, Bale plays an Associated Press reporter covering the Armenian genocide. While the atrocities are largely considered to be the first genocide of the 20th century, Turkey still refuses to use the term in reference to the mass killing. After hearing the topic of the film, trolls organized on a Turkish message board similar to 4Chan or Reddit to protest the movie by giving it one-star reviews on IMDB.

Dan Rather and his ilk of domestic turks are utterly lacking the power of introspection. Rather bashing Bush on forged military docs while calling himself a Marine. Wow! And the Ivanka boycott. My wife would never have bought anything Ivanka until the boneheads began trashing her.

Come to think of it, isn’t it true that this mindless bashing led to the election of President Trump?

Not in my Armenian family. My grandfather, who survived the genocide and made it to the US was a conservative. He did help Armenian immigrants get jobs, and fed and sheltered their families until they were on their feet. He was proud to be an American! He embraced capitalism, and Kirk Kerkorian was his idol. He made sure all his kids and grandkids understood the dangers of Islam.
