It’s on every Christmas, seemingly on a bloody loop every Christmas - to the point where you can get a bit sick of it without even having seen it for a while.
But it’s worth stripping away all that bollocks & remembering, it IS a GREAT Movie.

The issue isn’t just our media capitulating to Trump. It is that our media is now owned by conglomerates and billionaires with multiple interests before the government. They are compromised from the get go.
