"If you think that watching a movie about Malcolm X in HBO and/or later on noticing that the airing of a History Channel documentary about the perils of White racism in the 40’s was simply “coinciding” with the whole Rev. Jeremiah Wright Controversy, you are sadly mistaken. These programming schedules are executed in a coordinated fashion, and that is why you will see that when there is a particular political agenda being pushed through one medium, the whole entertainment world seems to suddenly get into the “bus” and begin to give their own “opinion” on the matter. As an additional example, when most of these same companies decided that the War in Iraq was not “politically expedient”, you clearly noticed how “suddenly” most channels on our TV followed suit with documentaries about the perils of Vietnam, the horrors of war, and you could even view how Hollywood suddenly began to release dozens of films about Iraq and the suffering of our soldiers, etc. The exact same thing happened when they actually SUPPORTED the same war, in which they also inundated our airwaves with a massive array of documentaries and War Glorifying reruns like Iwo Jima and Saving Private Ryan, which were placed on loop 24/7 in Cinemax, et al."

I watch a lot of TV and noticed as soon as that cretin took up residence in the WH that movies about war cropped up more and more. When the M-I-C wants sympathy, they play John Wayne crap. Since I never watch major network junk, I have no opinion there.
