Cite an example of Ebert’s pre 1998 bias.
Get serious, your liberal joy in an old lefty, 1988 movie and Roger Ebert’s liberalism, isn’t interesting enough to me to go back 15 years in time and try to recall why we conservatives were mocking the guy and his TV show.
The guy that is an icon in your liberal view is not very important to me, TV isn’t important to me.
You have some strong personal tastes for a lefty movie and a lefty reviewer, big deal, you can’t really convince conservatives to accept them, just enjoy your own world view and strive to get what you can from FR.
