What was the point?

Ailes probably did sexually harass women, but he was never convicted so I don’t understand how you make a movie destroying the guy based on allegations. It’s supposed innocent until proven guilty.

Hitler was never convicted either. I guess we should just reserve judgement.

Wow you got some serious usurps comparing Roger Ailes who was alleged to sexual harassment to Hitler who killed 7 million people.

[–] AssetsonFire (149) 5 years ago

I'm not comparing their alleged crimes. I'm comparing their status as people who are commonly accepted to have committed crimes they weren't formally convicted of.

neither was Stalin, the left wingers role model.... and he killed 20 million people

[–] AssetsonFire (149) 5 years ago

Stalin is as much the left winger's role model as Hitler is the right winger's. Perhaps when you grow up a little you'll stop viewing politics as though it was WWE.

But left wingers always say Trump is like Hitler....... so only fair to fire back.
How do you like it?

[–] AssetsonFire (149) 5 years ago

I like it neither way, I stopped watching WWE when I was about 12 years old.

That's just...wildly inaccurate.

Communism didn't kill 20 to 30 million people?

A movie's not a criminal sentence. It can make someone look worse, or not as bad as they really were.

Who needs the rule of law, its lynch mob rules now days. The irony is that when the liberals in power they wanted to push the innocent until proven guilty to the nth degree but now that they are out of power they are running around like a bunch of crazed klan members with a rope trying to string up anyone that doesn't know the secret handshake. The only thing that makes it funny is that they are now starting to lynch each other.

Really though, he was tried in the court of public opinion way before the film was released. Not necessarily just but it happens.
