The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Left wing propaganda. I am not a Republican, I am an independent who cherishes the views of the left... and the Right. Will Durant wrote " In every extreme there's a half truth" (The Lessons of History, Will and Ariel Durant, 1968). If you want to know the truth, remember that quote. I agree that it's true that the Right have their own propaganda, but the Left doesn't? Can it not be seen how terribly one sided that the media has become today, and not to favor the views of conservatives? When something is said that is obviously untrue, it's akin to hearing fingernails scratching against a blackboard. This is what I experienced when watching this documentary.

This was released three years ago, but it is more relevant in 2018 than ever before. Great history and explanation of why our country is so divided and what gave rise to a President that can spew lies and hate and it makes no difference to his supporters. It seems that half of our country is now brainwashed. It is quite apparent that those who gave this movie low marks are among the brainwashed. How do we deprogram a nation???

This is strictly a liberal propaganda piece brought to you by far-left organizations such as Media Matters and DemocracyNow!. Not a single conservative interviewed or anything opened up for a dissenting opinion. The liberal bubble in all its pathetic glory. In one segment you can tell the director has never even listened to Rush Limbaugh. She also blames Rush for her father not wearing a seat belt when driving a car. No, I'm not making that up. The "big lie" told by FOX News is apparently that "no-go zones" in Europe don't exist. A simple YouTube search will prove that THEY DO. I mean 60 Minutes has a whole report on Swedish no-go zones. Just go on YouTube and type in "60 minutes no go zones" and you'll find their report. I guess 60 minutes is lying to you as well. Honestly, I laughed through the whole movie. It's particularly ironic that Media Matters is a STAPLE on MSNBC which has had to issue at least 10 apologies over the past 8 years and had multiple anchors and producers fired for perpetrating fake news and unabashed bias. This mockumentary actually makes Michael Moore look like Edward R. Murrow. Truly, truly, TRULY sad.

It reminded me of Michael Moore's films but in some ways even better! Because it is the personal experience of the director's father and family. Who are quite likable. Very true to life. It is after all a documentary. I loved the ending which I won't give away. But was thoroughly impressed by the history leading up to changes in journalism and the experts on the film. David Brock was instrumental in this piece by being evidence of the information stated. Jeff Cohen and Noam Chomsky? How can you go wrong there among many more experts. Also love the cartoon spots which made it fun. Go see this movie. You won't be sorry!
