The Commercial You WON"T See At the Oscars

[Agent Zero]

Thanks to the sympathizers at FOX, this documentary is nominated for an Oscar but we can't see the commercial for it during the telecast. I understand the show's producers will show the commercial in it's entirety.

Fox News's most recent fling with Nazism revolves around a 30-second ad for the Oscar-nominated documentary short, A Night at the Garden. The movie covers a terrifying American Nazi rally held at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939. The ad expresses the movie's sentiment with a single line of text at the end: "It can happen here."

Again, we're talking about actual Nazis here – Americans who legitimately identified with the Nazi party during WWII.After running the ad on a local slot during Sean Hannity's primetime Monday night show, the film's distributor, Field of Vision, purchased a national spot. That's when Fox News's CEO, Suzanne Scott, stepped in, telling THR the ad was "not appropriate for our air."

Can you imagine the conniption Hannity had?

Oh gee, it couldn't be because the film lamely attempts to equate Trump supporters as Nazis, right?

Where does the name Trump ever come up in it?

Give us a break.

"The film shines a light on a time when thousands of Americans fell under the spell of a demagogue who attacked the press and scapegoated minorities using the symbols of American patriotism," said director Marshall Curry.

Is that not true? Why were those people there?

What about the people of Germany? Didn't they fall under the spell of a demagogue who attaccked the press and scapegoated minorities"?

BuThis point is less an indictment of bad things that Americans have done in the past than it is a cautionary tale about the bad things that we might do in the future. When the protester is being beaten up there’s a little boy in the crowd who I zoomed on in the edit. You can see him rub his hands together, doing an excited little dance, unable to contain the giddy excitement that comes from being part of a mob. And when the protester is finally thrown off stage, there’s a long slow pan across the crowd that is laughing, clapping, cheering, like they’re at a World Wrestling Federation match.

We’d like to believe that there are sharp lines between good people and bad people. But I think most humans have dark passions inside us, waiting to be stirred up by a demagogue who is funny and mean, who can convince us that decency is for the weak, that democracy is naïve, and that kindness and respect for others are just ridiculous political correctness. Events like this should remind us not to be complacent – that the things we care about have to be nurtured and defended regularly – because even seemingly good people have the potential to do hideous things.t ine American Jewish Committee argued that although the Bund was “completely anti-American and anti-Democratic… because we believe that the basic rights of free speech and free assembly must never be tampered with in the United States, we are opposed to any action to prevent the Bund from airing its views.”
