Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

lol what? I need you to cite some examples bud.
To refute your premise - filmmaking has always about injecting messages into motion pictures. Remember when "It's a wonderful life" was investigated by the FBI for being 'anticapitalist'? Silkwood and Erin Brockovich were all about holding the powerful to account bud. It's part of cinema to use the medium to hold the powerful accountable, to illustrate the fucked up things our society is doing. This isn't new.
