[An American in Turkiye]

To DUmmies, it's a piece of propaganda. Here's an excerpt from one of the threads over in hell:


Hey, maybe it's a very well-crafted film and a compelling story. But what is driving me nuts is that in every review so far, the reviewers can't seem to avoid fawning over Greengrass's ability to have somehow known what really went on on that plane, even as they try to say "no one really knows what went on." Then they all add "but this perhaps the most accurate accounting we'll ever have." WTF? Who says? The FACT is, Greengrass MADE UP the entire thing based upon the same propaganda every single one of us read in our daily government news feeds, otherwise known as "newspapers" and "cable news."

This film really does a disservice to history, because its version of events will become history. Americans as a lot are not the brightest bulbs on the tree, and most will take this film as gospel because, well, it's shot like a documentary, and gosh, all the reviews say it's so accurate. But the film doesn't address the issues of the ability of cell phones to function at 500 mph, thousands of feet in the air, or debris scattered for miles and miles across the PA countryside. It only explores the mythology, and sets it up as historical fact.

Again, maybe it's a good film. But maybe it's also a totally bogus piece of passive propaganda, which will only serve to stop Americans from asking questions, and be used by those seeking tens of millions of dollars in government money we DON'T HAVE to convince lawmakers to buy 1200 acres of PA countryside for a memorial.

I'll watch it on cable, but unlike Roper and Ebert and every other film critic out there, I hardly think its "unmissable." Just watch me miss it faster than you can say "Let's roll!"

To DUmmies, it's a piece of propaganda.

They are waiting for the truth from Oliver Stone.

I'll bet this same Moonbat thought Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Day After Tomorrow were "documentaries"!

But the film doesn't address the issues of the ability of cell phones to function at 500 mph, thousands of feet in the air...

The cell phone "issue" has been roundly debunked as nonsense.

"Americans as a lot are not the brightest bulbs on the tree"

- The linchpin in liberal thought. The very cornerstone of their believe system. Average Americans are too stupid to know what is right for their children, their community, and their country. And so the solution for this problem is the all knowing, highly evolved, culturally aware liberal to tell us what is best.
