But, in a larger sense, we can not denigrate—we can not calumniate—we can not slander — the media and the FBI. The unscrupulous men and women, arrogant and ignorant, who connive there, have tarnished it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

Yo, Riley, you ever heard the term "Fake News Media"? Or the names, James Comey or Peter Strzok or Lisa Page? That term and those names have been around a lot longer than Eastwood's movie.

Why don't YOU make a movie explaining how the Fake News Media and self-aggrandizing government hacks got it all wrong and destroyed a decent, innocent man?

I'm not even sure why we should believe Eric Robert Rudolph was the perp.

RIP Richard Jewell. Well done, faithful servant.

[Texas Eagle]

Good one.

the film’s intention was to undermine confidence in the media and law enforcement agencies.

Nope. The mockingbird state media and the feebs did that to themselves.

[FreedomPoster]

Nicely done!

[chris37]

I have no confidence in either.

Nothing to undermine. Not a single thing.

EXCELLENT!!! Only had my first cup of caffeine but this is my vote for 'Post of the Day'!

Kevin G Riley, editor in chief of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said that the film’s intention was to undermine confidence in the media and law enforcement agencies.

Screw you, Kevin G. Riley you low-down, dirty, son-of-a.....oh, wait.....this is satire, isn't it? Blast you, Ensign Pulver! You got us!

Prince Andrew is a vile, arrogant boor, but he would be ill-advised to speak with the FBI voluntarily about Epstein. If he is smart (and he isn’t), he will steer clear of that organization.

Hi.

“...and that the film’s intention was to undermine confidence in the media “

Confidence in the media!? Bwahaahaa...

It the Guardian did not like it, it was a good movie.

“There is no evidence that this ever happened, and … it’s offensive and deeply troubling in the #MeToo era.”

So certain aspects of the female persuasion have been using a very private tool in their toolbox since time began. Others not. Just remember that # is the POUND sign when not being used as a millennial catch phrase. And oh yes there are all manner and variety of whores of either sex out there

Yes, and that is just the truly obvious. What about things under the radar, and there is no doubt that there is plenty under the radar when the corporate attitude at the time was revealed for all to see, in WACO alone. Now does anyone think that attitude has changed for the better seeing what we have seen with the present “leadership”?

[americas.best.days...]

Is this movie going to upset Sean Hannity’ s FBI “great American” percentages?

[conservative_cyclist]

BUT - Pediphilia is ok. OMG! the twisted get more twisted.

I spent 90’s working in ATL. What the ajc did to Jewel was awful and criminal..his attorney Lin Wood successfully cleared his name.

“...the film’s intention was to undermine confidence in the media and law enforcement agencies.” What confidence?

“....and that the film’s intention was to undermine confidence in the media and law enforcement agencies.”

That ship has sailed!

Funny how the roles have flipped now that the left owns the central organs of government. For decades we were told to question authority but now we’re supposed to be good citizens. We’re supposed to love the FBI now.

Spot on.

[ealgeone]

So has the AJC. What a joke of a “paper”.
