An interesting column on the falsehoods throughout the movie Trumbo

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

I really like Bryan Cranston as an actor and I don't object to his opinions on these matters, but when you present historical events in way that suggests you are showing what truly happened and you've whitewashed it, that's propaganda.

Note, the author of the OpEd is a died in the wool (anti-communist) lefty:

Marshal, it is sad that the truth can't just be told and let people make up their own minds....Nelson Mandela got treated the same way yet his background (along with his wife's) was checkered to say the least.

I remember taking two days off, in Tbilisi, while we were working in The Republic of Georgia. There is a park along the main river that runs through town and it is basically an open air market every day, with weekends being really crowded. There were huge numbers of people hawking Stalin stuff; shirts, buttons, books, signed pictures (right) and so forth. Most of them were older people but you could tell they truly missed and admired a guy who killed more people than Hitler. I remember thinking....man this is nuts or maybe they knew the truth and just didn't want to believe it who knows. But one would think in this day and age movies in the west could be produced with a high level of propaganda or untruths inserted.

Wait for the reviews of the movie, 13 Hours. There will be a full-throated circle suck by the media to protect Hitlery from the fallout.

Megyn K. said she and staff have seen the movie, and it is powerful; gonna get nasty out there soon. Speaking of soon, didn't realize Gen. Petraeus and Leon "ear hair" Panetta are scheduled to testify before the Benghazi Committee this week; I'll bet someone's ass goes under the "boose" before they're finished, or maybe not.

If anyone throws someone under the "boose" it will be Petraeus. Panetta had an opportunity recently to throw Obama under the bus and hem-hawed around and let the Liar-in-Chief off.
