I think you're being disingenuous if you can't see the difference between an 
art film made by a known ultra-liberal, and for which you'd have to go out, 
find playing at one of the handful of arthouse cinemas where it was being 
shown, and pay for it, knowing you were paying to see a film made by someone 
with a liberal agenda...and a program being broadcast in prime time on 
network television, on a network known for its news programming, and being 
piped for free into tens of millions of homes, and which is _going_ to look 
like "news" to people who aren't very good with nuance.
