Hoaxed

Firstly, I have independently observed many of the findings in this documentary. The mainstream media is collectively deceitful. Their goal is not to inform but to generate malice and to enslave people's thinking.

I happen to be a huge fan of Cassie Jaye and Jordan Peterson. Both of them were under utilised in this video. I can confirm that the Australian media savaged Cassie Jaye in a most heinous manner. I public raised objections when it happened, however, in Australia, we have adopted the US mainstream media's propagandist techniques with open arms. Cassie was doomed for challenging feminism.

I also found the Black Lives Matter section to be wonderful. The BLM rep seems like a wonderful human being. I too would love to see him have more representation in the media, but, I know exactly why the entire media industry will not give him a voice.

On the flip side, this documentary distracted viewers with 1984 style imagery. There were some comments that I questioned. In the same way "The Vice" feels like Democratic propaganda, this video feels like Republican propaganda. The anti Islam message written on a guest speaker's face was left unchallenged without any Islamic representation. This whole "1984" propaganda tone made me feel very uncomfortable. Propaganda is the thing that made me distrust the mainstream media. Why use it to influence me here?

This documentary is absolutely worth watching. However, its propagandist techniques (through 1984 style imagery) make me uncomfortable to recommend this to friends. I want to educate with facts, not via distractions. I say this in spite of agreeing with most of what was said. In other words, I'm not against the message, but I was uncomfortable with the delivery method and the one-sidedness at times.

The focus of this documentary should have been less about races/political parties and instead, it should have been built around who benefits and why. A presenter partially talked about how most of the media is strongly left (and I agree) - but this should have been the premise - and it should have been backed with fact. Otherwise, this is just more fake news ... out of one cave and into the next.

Summary: Excellent examples, poor use of propaganda as if the facts aren't enough by themselves, not enough myth-busting (eg. is everyone who is white really a white supremacist?). 7/10 for bravery and good research. 3 Marks lost for loss of focus and use of propaganda imagery.

There is no left or right there is only freedom and tyranny. Truth and lies. This movie spells it out for everyone. It may be a hard pill to swallow but knowing the truth in the end will liberate you mind. Time to leave the matrix.

I just finished watching this film and am a little blown away by it. It will be hard to trust anything from mainstream media anymore after seeing how deceptive and manipulative they can be. I thought I knew where and from who fake news originated, but it turns out, "it's coming from inside the house!" America, and I assume most of the world is in a mess right now, and it's difficult to know who to trust to tell us about it. See this film, it's like being released from The Matrix!

The other curious thing I noticed here on IMDb are in the reviews for this film. Most of the reviews are reasonable with only a few nutbars contributing. On many, many, many reviews, the little line that tells you who's voted on each review as to whether it was helpful or not reads, "0 out of 3 found this helpful." There are SO many of these it almost leads me to believe that IMDb has a glitch of some sort, but that's probably not the case. No, there are still some people that want to do what they can to keep people from accessing information they don't agree with. The "Helpful" rating is a small, rather pathetic attempt to do this, and apparently there are three people (or one person with three accounts) who has spent a very long time downvoting reviews. And for what? Watch the film, decide for yourself.

I am not a fan of Alex Jones or Mike Cernovich, but this was presented very well. It spoke to the truth of fake news and media that have been caught countless times but have never owned up to it. How they attack anyone that speaks contrary to their political agenda. When it is said that fake news is the enemy of the people, it is true. Journalists and fake news media betrayed the American people when they broke the trust and let political agendas distort the facts.

There should be some form of accountability for the big news corporations making money by creating false stories regardless of the impact this has on peoples lives. This documentary is a step in the right direction, anyone rating this low must surely work for the media. This documentary is not taking sides with any political side but rather questioning the ethics and values of popular news channels through the years. Its educational.
