Michael Moore's next project should be about media fomented ignorance and violence |
|
It's an important issue and it should be addressed.
Maybe Ken Burns would be better at giving a historical perspective. But hate speech leads to hate, leads to violence.
We need to have some kind of documentary comprehensively showing what hate/ propaganda led to in the Holocaust, Father Coughlin, Radio Rwanda, Alan Berg, etc.

3. Great idea. In fact, a collaboration of Moore and Burns would be great. |
|
There is a real darkness in America right now because of it. It also has many historical parallels.

13. The only irony is you proclaiming it where none exists. |

You remind me of those guys who sweep the beaches with their metal detectors, triumphantly locating and unearthing. . .beer cans.
