Spielberg and Hanks and Streep admit the film is some kind of statement against Trump




The Post received highly positive reviews, with specific praise for the performances of Streep, Hanks and Odenkirk, and critics noting the film's comparisons of the administrations of Richard Nixon and Donald Trump." - Wiki
Absolutely! It’s about time that Hollywood put out a good film, not the mindless fluff like “pitch Perfect 3”

I am looking forward to the movie, in part due to my recall of the events unfolding.

Here is an interesting article in the WP detailing how some of the movie is inaccurate (it is, after all, a movie designed to interest attendees), including not portraying some of the more odd events (Chief Justice answering his home doorbell wearing a robe and holding his gun):

It's just a movie, and yes, I will see it. Going to the movies is one of my favorite things to do. It will be fun. I like intelligent films. There's been so much garbage coming out of Hollywood these days.

Obama did far more than just bad mouth the press, he had the Justice Department and FBI spy on them and he prosecuted a large number of them, he won a court case proving that there is no "reporter's privilege", etc . The one who wrote the story that I'd linked to worked for the NYTs and was under the threat of prison for 7 very long years.

Obama is the one who took away reporters rights and set that stage, for Trump and every future president, to go after the press.
Ummmm... basically, people deride fox, and its right wing cousins, like breitbart, because they are biased, inaccurate, and hostile to truth, not because of anything obama said about them.

We could re-live "Intolerance", too. Plenty of parallels with the present to draw from that one.

Soooo... if you do away with reporters, what will replace them? Because, somebody has to be willing to do things like research wrongdoing, go to war zones, cover the WH press briefings, and then tell the world what is going on. right? So, who?

Stop playing folks....this is a Spielberg film with Hanks and Streep at the top of the bill. Y’all know what it is...miss me with the “never heard of it” routine.
Most of us have never heard of it for the simple reason is that we have turned our back on the demented, anti American trash Hollywood is pushing nowadays.. I am not in to celebrity worship. In fact, the only actor i have any respect for is Gary Sinese, since he puts his money and his time torward a worthy cause.

I'll see it, and love to hear the rebukes of the uber idiotic nationalist reviews.
