Lately, I've watched a wonderful World War 2 documentary from Frontline, so when I saw their U.S. elections episode, I was hoping that I could learn a thing or two this time as well. Nothing further from the truth.
Since the beginning, the tone is set: Donald Trump is the spoiled lucky kid with bad influences all around him, while Clinton is a passionate idealistic girl we are to feel sympathy for. Her childhood is also painted in dark colors, but while in Trump's case he soaks the evilness from his surrounding to become the man that ultimately runs for president, Hillary stands against the negative influences to become a better person. In both cases, zero evidence is given to support these claims and the fact that they use same arguments to glorify one candidate and vilify another already betrays what's to follow.
The movie is in color, but it feels so black and white - common factors are introduced to help us compare the candidates, and in each single one Hillary is the good girl, while Trump is the bad guy. For example, this "documentary" went so bonkers that they attached Martin Luther King as her role model, only to follow it up with Trump's role model... a ruthless lawyer that has taught him horrible things.
Most, if not all, guests follow that same theme too. Interestingly, everyone is a telepathic expert on Donald Trump. Without a shred of evidence, they state with 100% confidence what had which influences on Trump. He has been going to a church, which they paint as a bastion of ruthless capitalism, therefore he must have been soaking it with his eyes wide open, which must have defined him as a bad person. Obama laughed at Trump publicly? Trump is so evil that the only reason he is part of the race is because he is a bloodthirsty vengeful person. Should Americans vote for such a monster? People behind the movie try to make the decision for you, but make no mistake: you will learn nothing from it.
You can find here one of the main ingredients of why Trump has won the election: because Hillary fanboys produce this kind of one-sided venomous rhetoric that turn everything into a tabloid horror drama, which can go so far that even a person such as Trump starts to look like the good guy next to her. As such, the picture is the unfortunate extension of Clinton's horrible campaign's core points.
