Thank you, Ebert and Roeper

In reviewing the new movie about Edward R. Murrow: Good Night, and Good Luck

Roeper started by saying that this movie will get Rush Limpmind and the Fox News crowd claiming that this is a leftist propaganda.

And they both agreed that many today still consider any dissent to be unpatriotic.

Yes, gave it two strong "thumb up."

3. I think that it comes online about a week after

the broadcast

this is the most recent, from last weekend http://tvplex.go.com/buenavista/ebertandroeper/today.html so give it a few days and check again.

Sorry.

What I liked is not so much the movie review as they reference to current politics. Of course, they both liked Fahrenheit 9/11 very much and went out of their way to say that it was a good movie, regardless of politics.

Ebert also had a very harsh comment of the zealots who used last year Oscar Winner "A Million Dollar Baby" as their tool and revealed the end.
