I've thought of getting Criterion streaming but there is so much free stuff available, it's
hard to justify.
On Inauguration Day 2017, TCM ran “A Face in the Crowd”, with Andy Griffith as a sociopath who fools the public and then tries to run for office before he gets taken down. It’s a great movie, but there’s no question that TCM ran it as an indictment against Trump. Black Legion is also a great movie, but the Klan were Democrats so we know the lefties at TCM do not understand history.
Ben Mankiewicz, the lead host at TCM, is a huge Lefty asshat who lives off the reputation of his great uncle and grandfather. Robert Osborne was homosexual and liberal, but he had the good taste and respect for his audience not to let his personal life or political views influence his hosting duties. TCM’s programming has become steadily worse since Osborne’s death. The only good part is Noir Alley, but that’s not going to save the network from its eventual collapse.
My response to TCM:
.
@tcm, your “How to Fight Nazis” daytime theme is, of course, an unsubtle punch at President Trump after yesterday’s inauguration. You disrespect your audience with these childish pranks. Grow up, and stop allowing your Leftist views to infect the quality of the programming.
As an avid TCM fan I think you may be reading too much into this.
The old movies I like are all over Youtube now, anyway so TCM is unnecessary
Hollywood has always been Communist.
Dear TCM, due to,your childish pettiness, and immature antics, our household will no longer support your channel financially, which is a shame because you had one of the best channels on cable tv. Unfortunately you allowed you immature petty political bias get in the way of a good thing, and like everything woke, it has destroyed your reputation and endeavor to bring the best entertainment to television. You have made TCM a miserable place to hang out for those who do,not share your petty ideological agenda, and now All that is left to say is, Good riddance.
Maybe TCM is celebrating America’s victory over the Hamas/KKK party.
