Oliver Stone is an idiot

[Quixote1818]

Norah O'donnell was the only one doing her fucking job on that set.

1. he's a deplorable nt

[JHan]

2. Another useful American idiot Putin can add to a very long list

[NastyRiffraff]

3. Every since his idiotic "JFK"

I haven't trusted him. He managed to get every single wacko conspiracy theory into that film.

12. Agreed 100%.

There were two facts in "JFK."

Kennedy was shot and killed.
Garrison put Clay Shaw on trial.

The rest of that movie is pure bullshit.

Something the Garrison groupies don't like mentioning, Garrison was a vicious homophobe, and that was in his original theories, calling the "ring" that "murdered Kennedy" a "Homosexual thrill kill group."

13. Agree 100%. Sadly, most Americans still get their "facts"

about the JFK killing from Stone's laughable fiction.

4. Naturally he admires Putin as the master of disinformation

since disinformation has been the focus of Stone's life's work.

5. Stone, like a lot of Leftists, believe that Putin is still a Communist

and their hope is that he will revitalize Communism in Russia. In a nut shell, this is the problem with the American left. There's no pragmatism in their thinking. No planning. No working to build sustainable political organizations. There's nothing but blind passion.

It's all about hero worshipping, Snowden, Sanders, Chavez, Putin, etc. It's akin to how religion works. There will be a great savior who will come to our rescue and lead us into the promised land.

7. Yet he blamed the Soviets for killing Kennedy

(along with everyone else). So apparently he prefers the Russia of oligarchs and kleptocrats.

[Yavin4]

10. No he didn't. He blamed LBJ for killing Kennedy.

To Stone, LBJ wanted to expand the war in Vietnam and helped to stage a coup.

11. Was that the only CT that movie

Put forward? I thought it threw them all in?

[stopbush]

14. The amazing thing about Stone's CTs in JFK is that all of these factions

that were at war with each other suddenly united in a plot to kill JFK.

Laughable on its face.

8. ah, makes sense

[erpowers]

6. Not Sure

I am not sure she was the only one doing her job during that interview. I think she was the main person to take the lead. Gayle King also tried to do some follow up. I will say, for some reason Charlie Rose seemed to be falling down on the job.

However, I will say, Norah O'Donnell is a really good journalist. When she wants to she can really go after an interviewee. She gave Ted Cruz hell during one of her interviews with him. She kept calling out his lack of information and his misinformation. I think she may also have been the one to make Paul Manafort stutter after asking him a question about Trump's ties to Russia.

Oliver Stone did come across as foolish and gullible in that interview. He seemed to believe that a guy who came out of the KGB would not lie to him. Vladimir Putin is a career spy. Of course he would lie to anyone and everyone. Stone also tried to claim that he could not come away with a clear idea of who Putin was after spending only 20 hours with Putin. It does not take more than 20 hours to come away with a clear idea of a person.

9. By my count

He's made one decent film in his entire life, Platoon. That was thirty years ago.

15. Fucking Putin Stooge

Heard him on NPR this AM.

Thought they were interviewing an RT reporter.

Dis-fucking-gusting.
