in the case of two films that highlight conservative subjects, the disconnect between the press and regular Americans is put on full display. The results show that either A) elitist “journalists” are totally out of touch with the greater public, or B) that they’re shaping the narrative to fit their progressive viewpoints, or C) both.

To wit, over at the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes, the film “REAGAN” received a terrible 17 percent “fresh” rating from professional reviewers—yet it garnered a huge 98 percent favorable rating from the public. That is an astounding divide. To me, it can only be explained by one thing: the left hates Ronald Reagan, and most journalists are left-leaning, so they can’t possibly judge a movie based on its merits. They can only judge it based on their ideology. //

Here’s some of the educated criticism from our nation’s journalists: “Like Reagan the actor and Reagan the president, Reagan the new movie has a strained relationship with reality.” Paul Renfro, Slate. No bias detected there, right? “It comes so close to parody that it brings to mind the ‘Saturday Night Live’ ‘Mastermind’ skit.” Rogerebert.com. “For conservatives, Reagan has become Muhammad, the Prophet whose name no non-believer ever dare utter.” Movie Nation. Wait, I thought you were reviewing a movie?
