To say that Dinesh D Souza is an objective documentary filmmaker would be insane. He is the Republican version of Michael Moore. Whether you agree with his politics or not will determine if you like his films. Michael Moore sis alot more celebrated because he has the left wing view. His movies are entertaining and even funny but his claims hace been debunked over and over but the left loves him ao they ignore that.
D' Souza gets either ignored or ridiculed. But rarely do the facts he presents get challenged. Mostnof hus claims you can verify yourself. Obviously, we are in an election year and millions will not even give this film the time of day. It is called Trump Card and it makes the case for him to get reelected but ut us more about how the media comtrols wjat peopke see as an important story and doesn't give the public the full story because of a particular narrative they want to push. That is what is scary. The media is free and should be a watch dog for everyone in power. Not just to protect who they agree with and destroy who they don't. Anyone with any sort of intellectual honesty can see the media is nowhere near objective now.
This problem is bigger than Trump or any other candidate. And people who don't like him may not care that the medua and the government itself was trying to frame and sabotage him, but one day it could be done to someone they do care about.
This film does preach to the choir a little too much, but it has points that should worry anyone, no matter what your politics are. You shouldn't be ok with media corruption just because you don't like someone's politics. Or ignore it because you agree with them.
Grade: B-
