Journalism died in the days of Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon. They smeared Ronald Reagan constantly. We had no answer at all. We had no media of our own. That was a lot longer than two decades ago.

I have a feeling the TomatoMeter ratings for "Jewell" will be something like:

Movie Critics: 11%
Moviegoers: 98%

Hey, why the 11%? Well, you just CAN'T trash the media in a major HWood production and get away with it. And you just CAN'T approve of anything Alt-Right Eastwood is now making.

Oh, yeah? Put me down for 4 tickets... and a Blu-ray, while you're at it.

Out of thousands of journalists, none came to Richard Jewell’s defense. They all jumped on the fake news bandwagon and never questioned the corrupt reporting and collusion between the reporter and the FBI.

That is the real crime....the lack of diversity of thought among journalists.

Just like the accused in the Duke lacrosse case, the police officer who shot Michael Brown, Nick Sandmann, and George Zimmerman. If the media and their ilk don’t like the accused as a “type” (usually a white man), they pile on rather than objectively investigate a story.

>> you just CAN'T approve of anything Alt-Right Eastwood is now making. <<

Eastwood is a registered Libertarian in California who describes his political views as "a fusion of Milton Friedman and Noam Chomsky." He supports abortion, gay marriage, donated to Dianne Feinstein, Sam Farr, and hosted a fundraiser for Gray Davis when he was trying to starve off the recall election. Eastwood has also donated to groups who campaign for the Equal Rights Amendment.

In short, he's very far removed from the "Alt right"
