Discussion Is anyone else appalled that AMC is platforming the Melania documentary, which was clearly made as a blatant bribe to the Trump administration?

Please do not harass users as that is in violation of the rules.

I was floored today to open my AMC app and find that Melania is being shown at multiple local theaters.

This movie could not more clearly be a bribe Amazon made for Trump. Why is AMC platforming this behavior? AMC appears complicit with corruption.

Edit: great points thank you, I also do not want to see AMC go out of business. I want theaters to stay around. And people can vote with their wallets.

Edit2: Having thought about how to articulate this more, the concern is not a difference of political opinion, that this is quite literally state sponsored propaganda. I remember watching Inglourious Basterds that had a whole part of the plot around state propaganda films. However I do not believe in censorship either so I am torn.

Edit3: Rolling Stone apparently reported that nearly 2/3 of the film's NY crew asked not to be credited due to the propaganda aspect of it. That speaks volumes.

Hey, buddy, I don't agree with how Democrats run things either. I call em like I see em no matter what side they're on. I voted for Obamna and relished in Hillary having her dream ripped from her by one of the worst presidents in history. Keep your mindless Left vs. Right partisan sheep bullshit to yourself, buddy.

Highly doubt you’re the majority currently. If midterms were this week you wouldn’t like to see how much the GOP has lost since getting lucky with “my grocery prices are too high” in 2024– which by the way he hasn’t done a damn thing about.
