'The Reagans' director compares Trump to Reagan, says they both 'manipulate' the public
Foxnews ^ | 11/15/2020 | Tyler McCarthy

Posted on 11/16/2020 9:27:16 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Tyrnauer pulls no punches in his new Showtime documentary series “The Reagans” in which he explores the life and political impact that the 40th president had on the future of the conservative movement, casting a negative light on the role that his Hollywood ties played in shaping the country’s image of him and Nancy Reagan.

“The whole Reagan legacy is a brilliantly confected myth,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview. “The real Ronald and Nancy Reagan are virtually unknown. They learned how to myth-make from the best, who supported them: [Warner Bros. founder] Jack Warner, [legendary gossip columnist] Louella Parsons, the entire publicity team at MGM. There’s nothing more effective than a good Hollywood studio. They carefully constructed their myth, and they acted it out.”

Tyrnauer wasn’t around for the Clinton or Obama presidencies I guess.

I, like, read a book about them so I know more about them then you do!

He probably thinks the SNL skit and JFK are true too.

Pure projection. This is what the Democrats did with JFK. They covered all the Kennedy scandals to the point they created Camelot.

The press was never fair to Reagan.

Just remember...they('rats)always accuse their enemies of atrocities which THEY actually did/are doing.

It is part of their creed.

So whatever comes out of their mouth...is actually coming from their arse...as they created the recipe, they cooked it up, they ate it, and they shat it out.

He can’t see the beam in his own eye, it’s funny that everyone I have seen telling me that Trump is a liar, starts by poisoning the well fallacy.

Figures Fox News would report on this. I’m assuming that they agree with it completely. I won’t provide Fox News the click to see if my assumptions are correct though.

I’m a 68 year old, Reagan Republican, a Nativist and proud of it, and a disabled veteran.

I state that the author of this article wrote the first draft on the roll of paper next to his ‘seat of authority’ designed by a Mr. Crapper!

I lived in SoCal in the early 80’s, when President Ronald Reagan, RONALDUS MAGNUS was elected.

How about that, oh wise-in-need-of-exlax- writer?

The correct way of making that word look like something without spelling it out is this:

$#!+

And, you are welcome.
