If the Suntimes is behind then it is not neutral.

and then hear from the insurrectionists Yeah, I'm done reading a review where the writer says there's no political slant, then he writes that phrase at the end of the sentence. It's HBO, they literally slant the weather.
"Insurrectionists!" LOL!

I was there. I wrote several articles reporting on it.
I reported with numerous pictures and audio recordings of interviews.
They never contacted me.

The author, a sick Liberal.
“Roeper was suspended from the Sun-Times on January 29, 2018, pending an investigation into allegations that he had purchased Twitter followers. On February 2, the Sun-Times released a statement stating that their investigation did find that Roeper purchased over 25,000 fake followers. He was later reinstated by the paper, though he was required to begin using a new account on which he was explicitly disallowed from buying followers.”

“journalists who were in the midst of the fray and police officers who were under attack and in some cases feared for their lives, and then hear from the insurrectionists who speak with boastful pride and zero regret about their nauseating actions that day”
Yep, completely neutral and unslanted reporting.

Impossible in today’s liberal-charged media. It will be hit piece on the protesters.

The documentary may or may not be neutral but this article certainly isn’t.

“You can hear the sometimes-heartbreaking recollection of U.S. representatives and their staffers, journalists who were in the midst of the fray and police officers who were under attack and in some cases feared for their lives, and then hear from the insurrectionists who speak with boastful pride and zero regret about their nauseating actions that day...”
Sure sounds like it doesn’t take sides.
Didn’t Sumner Redstone (Rothstein) own HBO?

The only time HBO “does not take sides” is in debates between Maoists and Trotskyites!

You can hear the sometimes-heartbreaking recollection of U.S. representatives and their staffers, journalists who were in the midst of the fray and police officers who were under attack and in some cases feared for their lives, and then hear from the insurrectionists who speak with boastful pride and zero regret about their nauseating actions that dayWell if the documentary is anything at all like the article, then it's hardly neutral.

thus allowing the footage and the comments from participants on both sides to speak for itself. You can hear the sometimes-heartbreaking recollection of U.S. representatives and their staffers, journalists who were in the midst of the fray and police officers who were under attack and in some cases feared for their lives, and then hear from the insurrectionists who speak with boastful pride and zero regret about their nauseating actions that day — and while I can’t imagine how anyone with a respect for facts and a fundamental understanding of the Constitution and an appreciation for basic decency can side with the criminals, I certainly don’t expect most of those who have sided with the violent and the uninformed to reverse their stances. Yeah, probably about as neutral as that passage.
