re: Saw it

Hi Robert,

So I appreciated the movie, as much from my judgment of its pragmatic value as for its own merits. An election year is all about duelling propaganda, and I don't feel any need to apologize for a powerful arrow in the quiver. Whatever works.

You start off with *As a documentary* and end with *duelling propaganda*.

A documentary is supposed to be based on facts with both sides of a story presented and not personal opinions or views. Would you agree that this is no documentary and only propaganda?

Also, you said, *Whatever works* in the context of electing your candidate.

Should I take this as you have no problem with misleading or lying to people for the benefit of your candidate being elected?
