If you can't see how To Catch a Predator was highly sensationalized and purposefully preying upon American fears to gain viewers, then I literally do not know what to tell you

So what do you think of current coverage of Epstein and pedophilia

brother there was NO MAJOR REPORTING ON PEDOPHILIA AT AT ALL. It wasnt talked about. It still even to this day is a topic sensationalized and used for american fears if discussed.

this movie is mass marketed to look pretty and SELL UNITS

to catch a predator helped victims and lead to getting many pedophiles off the street. Could it have been more dry and less jokes? of course but I dont even understand your call to action

Law and Order SVU has ran for countless years could be considered, copaganda, based on a true story at times, makes so many jokes of rape and even if I watched it growing up I criticize it at times. I can criticize to catch a predator I am not saying its perfect by any means .

I am directly asking you your favorite journalist, reporting, documentary that you feel has the moral purity to not prey on American fears and not sensationalized that you enjoy

this isnt a loaded question I spent that post giving you multiple examples on serious topics that I think dont make it just entertainment.

Brother his next movie is something that in many cases would be a documentary you would see on the news or netflix thats dropping in 2 weeks . You dont think dropping them back to back is advantageous to him. You dont think the documentary with nathan fielder is sensationalized entertainment ? Is a documentary suddenly not also reporting?

Do I think the best marketing of the documentary is dropping your first feature film right before on a serious topic ?

Yes.

I am not saying Chris Hansen is perfect by any means I have mentioned how close he is with law enforcement. I havent seen him deeper go into the prison system or the disparity with black people in it or how to progress the ssytem.

Have you seen predators documentary which critiques him and has actual details in it or were you just waiting for the fictional horror movie starring the man playing Batman you like?

Yes. Are you done?

Guy is still having trouble understanding the difference between a biopic and a documentary

I typed all that and you typed yes and a sassy question

when my point is if you criticize Hansen for making reality into entertainment which is a fair critique why cant you name any reporting or documentaries you like?

You have seen all the MCU movies this year but have you read a book, investigative reporting, seen a documetnary from anyone that you respect their process?

If you struggle for multiple post to name anything or anyone the issue you are criticizing Chris Hansen for you are the reason it exist

the same way he made predators the monsters of the week or was in this movies mind consantly looking for the event movie or thanos that would be the big bad. The one that would lead to most viewers or now youtube views in your mind.

if the public is inherently wont watch unless its sensationalized. If the public is like "I watch documentaries but only on Netlfix"

great recent example if the public doesnt listen to the cries of Palestinians until Naza drops it as a documentary film delivered by two Israelis

then part of the issue is no doubt the public and not just the public that says "chris hansen, sensationalism and entertainment is bad" while munching on popcorn , cracking open nachos and pregaming the to catch a predator movies starring Robert pattinson soon to be oscar winning movie

because this pretentious idea that those who view Chris Hansen as reprehensible and are so above sensationalism , entertainment and preying on american fears on serious topics also engage with it

If the public hasnt seen a documentary in theaters

So now Oppenheim was in control of when these two films were releasing?

Just say you love Chris Hansen and go, clearly you not interested in any nuanced discussion this film is trying to have

We've reached the part where Condom Eyes brings up the MCU as an attack against me in a conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with it

I am saying he benefits from it. An unknown director dropping his first feature film and documentary benefits from them being this colose

psychological crime thriller/satire

I am saying its a satire and crime thriller you can consider it a biopic but after seeing it I am no longer holding it to what I would expect from a biopic or a documentary so you saying I dont understand what one is and that is why I am criticizing it show you cant read

yet still when posed with the question of a documentary , reporting or reporter you feel is to the moral standard you demand you cant name any lol

Because it's an irrelevant question

you literally lack an ability to read and are telling me who prefers documentaries "well chris hansen focused on entertainment and fame over reporting"

the american populace is stupid most people again havent heard of Seymour Hersh. Most dont know about Laura Poitras. Most dont know about Glenn Greenwald reporting. Jeremy Scahill. the List goes on and on .

Most dont know about major issues unless its on corporate news which is only what is allowed. they arent seeking out reporting and investigative journalism unless it goes viral.

they dont even know what the intercept is lol

still to this day.

I am making clear Chris Hansen isnt perfect and I have mentioned countless things he could have improved on both during to catch a predator and to this day. I have discussed the show and its controversies on ktt on my time here for the past 10 years. none of that changes that the movie at times feels shallow and lacking a resounding purpose.
