In 1991, Oliver Stone was the most celebrated director in Hollywood, having won 2 Oscars in 4 years. Instead of cashing in, he used his platform to make "JFK," the first mainstream cultural product to question the official JFK narrative. He was pilloried and destroyed for it.

The vicious reaction to that film on the part of the corporate press was insane. Go read it. But it resulted in opening up the archives. His new documentary -- "JFK Revisited" -- leaves no doubt for any rational person that the Warren Commission story is a lie, a cover-up.

Even Stone's critics admit that this new documentary destroys the lone shooter/Oswald theory which the US Govt fed the public for years. The film doesn't try to answer who actually killed JFK, but I urge everyone to watch it and decide for yourselves.

A little brigade of snotty movie critics have arrived with their "LOL: JFK was nominated for 8 Oscar: learn to use Google" tantrums. Two points:

First, learn how to read. He was pilloried and his reputation destroyed for JFK *by the corporate press*, exactly as I wrote:

Second, I don't need to use Google. I've known Stone for years. He made a film in which I was a character. He was just in my home last Sunday. I've had many long conversations with him about the impact on his career from the media contempt for "JFK":

His latest documentary shows some of the corporate press reaction to "JFK." It was insane. He was widely labelled a liar, a crazed leftist and conspiracy theorist. All of that laid the groundwork for Hollywood to withdraw after "NBK" and especially when "Nixon" performed poorly.

Thank you for this helpful reminder, @TwitterSafety. As we saw before when political reporters condemned "Zero Dark Thirty," snotty film critics can be quite vicious whenever uncredentialed interlopers think they may speak about films without the proper licensing and training.
