Fox News; "Bush, Fighting to the End" AKA "Leni" Riefenstah lives
Pravada or Leni Riefenstah would have been proud of this production

I watched 3 minutes ... pictures of bush & Rummy praying,
really bad edits, soft ball questions, and coming up on
how bad bush wants to get bin Laden.

Behind the Scenes with Bret Baier: George W. Bush: Fighting to the Finish
By Bret Baier

As President Bush enters the final year of his presidency, he granted me and FOX News Channel’s Documentary Unit unprecedented access to his day-to-day world. The documentary will air this Sunday night at 8 p.m. ET.


I’ve really enjoyed working on this program. For starters, the footage you will see in this hour is historic and fascinating. We were given access to the president at his ranch in Texas, in the Oval Office during meetings, aboard Air Force One during his historic trip to the Mideast and in the White House residence that is rarely seen.

We visited the president’s ranch multiple times. With our cameras rolling, he drove me around for more than an hour, giving me a guided tour of landscape while he shared his thoughts on the war, the presidential race, immigration, family and faith. We started with a long interview outside of his office on the ranch and thought that might be all we would get. But, the president asked us to hop in his pickup truck and proceeded to drive me and one cameraman all over his 1,600 acre ranch.

His Ranch? :rofl:

p.s. I want my country back

3. I saw about 12 minutes total
That show was shameful .... even for Fox.

Bush could not pronounce successors.

"Well you have been a war president longer than Lincoln...." Fox question

I wonder how many takes "they" did to put together that crap?

4. that was my reaction as well just before I turned it off when I first heard the asinine concept...

5. Leni Riefenstahl was an artist - a propaganda genius.
Even though her subject matter was contemptible, none can dispute the quality of her work.

To compare her to the hamfisted rhetoric and ridiculous spinning graphics of Fox Nooz is like comparing "Days of our Lives" to a Merchant-Ivory production.


Luckily, Fox's viewing demographic make the Beverly Hillbillies look like Frasier and Niles Crane, so they won't know the difference...

6. Fox is very good @ blurring the lines between love of God & Country ...
.... and support of George Bush. Not unlike what Reni did with Hitler.

7. In terms of manipulation of the weak-minded, they may be comparable...
...but Riefenstahl's work was on a whole other level in terms of artistry.

I get where you're coming from, but I'd group Fox more with Goebbels than with Reifenstahl. He was the man with the memes...

8. I agree.
Reifenstahl would have probably been considered one cinemas great directors if she had taken another direction with her work.Instead she became one of histories most infamous directors.

Here is some food for thought:Watch 'Victory of Faith' then go to
one of those PromiseKeeper rallys.
:scared:
