Watch Koch Brothers Exposed For Free

That was an excellent one.

People are voting emotionally.

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A documentary and a position piece, editorial or essay are very different. And at best this might be one of those latter 3 but doesn't approach being a documentary. Documentaries are supposed to be like news (not todays news but the hypothetical version taught in journalism schools) neutral in tone, with no intended outcome or reaction from its audience and uncolored presentation of verified facts and evidence. It may have a message or idea to offer but it cant be jammed down the viewers throat but realized or refuted by themselves. I didn't go to J school but I think even position pieces and essays are supposed to have supporting evidence or something showing some reason for their opinion, by that standard Im not even sure this qualifies as that. A more apt title mighta been The Koch Brothers slandered or libeled, I always forget which is written and which spoken, and drenched in innuendo, whatever the reality or anyones opinions of these men this film offers no credible evidence or even semi plausible conjecture on the subject.

This excuse for a documentary is a perfect example of how people who know nothing, living in a victim mentality, can be easily manipulated and made to believe the most ridiculous things. In order to rate this movie above a 1, you would have to have a similar IQ. It's nothing but half truths, logical fallacies, red herrings, and total fabrications. Nevermind that the "producers" provide zero evidence to support their claims. A perfect example of what stupid people watch to get their information, and clear evidence of the decline of intelligence and critical thinking in the West. Knowing this movie is rated a 6.6 makes me embarrassed for our society.

I'm familiar with Greenwald's work and this is the second "documentary" of his I've seen. While it's been some time since I viewed, "Wal-Mart, The High Cost of Low Prices", this investigation of the elusive Koch brothers has little balance in presentation. Regardless of whatever the Kochs are accused of, there is no side of their argument presented whatsoever. Barring this, there is little historical evidence to base the Koch's alleged political motivations. What is presented, and clearly there's evidence there, is done so snarky that it is embarrassing. Hiring a voice actor to portray a Koch gives the film its sole comedic moment, but this hardly serves us and puts pressure on Scott Walker, not the Kochs. All we have to go on is the motivations of father Fred Koch, who in turn informs the brothers' industrial / political adventures, and even this evidence has an air of hearsay. Little is said of and by lesser-known and assumed estranged brother William, who could have shed much more light on his brothers' activities. Despite the obvious rift between the brothers as documented in the film, this Koch brother seems to have aspirations not far removed from his more noteworthy siblings. Attempts to get the Kochs themselves to defend themselves before the camera comes off as a dumb stunt relegated to the end credits.Therefore, if you prefer one-sided character assassinations, go for this one. Me, I prefer a balanced approach that rewards the viewer with a richer understanding of whatever the subject is and how it seems to influence our lives. With much of the content existing in "... Exposed" intact and more of the Koch's side of the equation delved into we'd get a far more satisfying, true documentary. This video screams "shockumentary" that poisons the art and form of documentary filmmaking.Pros: Short'n'Sweet; preaches to the choir, if you like this sort of thing; an investigation into the Kochs is warranted, but; Cons: this ain't it. One-sided echo chamber it accuses the Koch machine of; asks us to follow the money - examples? Not enough historical reference or insiders to give us a fuller understanding of Koch motivations; too short and far incomplete Net: Unconvincing argument to accuse the Kochs of being active democratic subversivesDisclaimer: Not a Koch follower or supporter, I simply wished to know about these guys, wanted a documentary and got a butter sandwich instead. There's plenty of Koch-type characters to go around today, who are they, what makes them tick?

Is it Poetic Justice or just plain irony that one of the billionaires polluting the planet contracts Cancer? It's not the Outcome that matters, it seems, but the INcome... Mother Earth as a Cash Cow has been systematically milked dry, and we're all going to foot the bill for it in The End (which probably ain't that far off). Watching the slow but inevitable (and agonizing) demise of the people "at the end of the line" should serve as a reminder to ALL of us that NONE of us are, to coin a phrase, mere "collateral damage." (I refer you to the COLLATERAL MURDER footage...) The solution to pollution is really quite simple: anyone who pollutes the Land, Air or Sea should be sentenced to spend the remainder of his/her days right in the middle of the mess they've made. At least that way, things'd work out all around. (And to think that the Kochs were originally backed by Soviet money... Shades of Nit Romney's Bain Capital start-up money, gotten from Right Wing murder squad funders, or Karl Rove's laundering of Chinese triad money through political moneymen like Shel Addelson...)
