Americans See Selves as Freedom’s Heroes as They Flock to Watch a Lousy Comedy

 It wouldn’t surprise me to someday discover that Sony, stuck with what looked like a dog, paid some shady outfit to "hack" them and make threats all in order to build “buzz” around the film’s release.

The jingoistic yahoos who are flooding theaters to watch Kim’s head explode on screen are not defending media freedom. They are participating in just another marketing campaign by a huge media corporation that needed to do something to rescue a dog of a film that it found itself stuck with.

If they really wanted to be freedom’s heroes, US filmgoers would be lining up at theaters that are showing the movie “Kill the Messenger,” an excellent drama based on a real story.
