Review of 'Bob Roberts' starring Tim Robbins w/ Jonathan Kim

[PaulDenton14]

Please review Alex Gibney's "Casino Jack and the United States of Money"

Bob Roberts- a great flick! A must see for all reasonable Democrats and Republicans who wish to think.

Teabaggers beware- this movie knew you were coming 15 years ago- with your closed mindedness and all too easy solutions to complex problems. Hell- this movie even predicited the tea baggers' 18th century army clothing!

Must have had a crystal ball.

Attention reviewer- Please speak more slowly. A great review delivered too quickly.

Why did Kim put that stupid eugenics bumper sticker on his computer?

I saw the S&E review of this movie a few months ago and really wanted to see it. I wish it was released!

News complicity - "are they in on it?" Duh, of course! NBC is owned by General Electric. Big corporations rule the government and the main stream media. For a short while we have the Internet blogosphere to supply the truth, but in a few years they'll figure out how to lock 'em out.

[TheeUnidentified]

@audadvnc The media is only as "liberal" as the corporations that own it, and corporations are private tyrannies that are by law required to place shareholders interests over & above the stakeholders/public trust. Hardly "liberal."

Every network and cable news outlet in the US works hand in hand with the corp/state nexus to terrorize, propagandize, deceive, disinform, distract & manipulate the public mind according to the aims of dominant interests. Phony democracy. Phony elections. Phony war$

going on the war march Cenk

I'd like to see some of this media bias discussion come to fruition, but I'd love to be in on it, because I'm telling Cenk and everyone else... The MSM is not biased EITHER way, other than toward profit and self-preservation. Some sources tell the story left, some tell the story right, some tell it down the middle... It all depends on the demographics of the traffic that they're receiving. And with the sheer volume of media sources, you pretty much have to shift to a side to keep an audience.

[johncrwarner]

Can I just express amazement that Cenk had not seen Bob Roberts - this should be played as Politics 101 in every college - it is a great film.

[LearningHuman]

Thanks for an absolutely brilliant review, Jonathan. Would love to see your reviews of working class films as well as more political ones.

[patetico100]

I love Rethink Reviews! Keep 'em coming!

[mike5368]

ya fight the media, this bullshit has gone on for too long

[TheGiantRobot]

Oh, this is great. Great analysis on the "liberal" press. I so want to see Cenk rip these corporations apart. I especially want to see you tear down General Electric.

Maybe people will start to realize this whole left wing GE high mercury fluorescent bulbs being pushed by the press isn't so peachy and progressive as they are telling us.

How come you´re reviewing old movies?

[RelaxingSin]

TYT Nigomsa is right u need to look at LiberalViewers 100 conservative news bias

[1tofallen]

go for blood Cenk.

[1tofallen]

I downloading the torrent right now.

[Nigomsa]

Yo TYT, Look up "Liberal Viewer" he has over 100 cases of Conservative news bias on his channel.

[FlashTemplar]

I don't even think that the American Media is conservative or liberal. I think that the American media in general is just retarded and brain dead.

[MassLiberal1]

I would agree and add that the media is neither liberal or conservative, but corporatist.

[FantasticMrDoc]

and corporatist tends to be conservative, i.e. status quo........Black sheep may come from either way.....there are always sheep to prey upon
