On Monday’s Verdict, Dan Abrams took offense to conservatives, namely Jonah Goldberg and Shannen Coffin, for their comments on WALL-E. An excerpt:
ABRAMS: Yes, that movie is what led Glenn Beck to rant about Pixar teaching his kids that we destroyed the Earth. The “National Review calling it “leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind.” Columnist Jonah Goldberg describing it as “Malthusian fear mongering.”
Here’s what Jonah actually wrote:
I agree with the charges of hypocrisy. I agree that the Malthusian fear mongering was annoying. But I saw WALL-E on Saturday as well. And I thought it was a fascinating and at-times brilliant movie.
Honesty not needed at MSNBC.
Maybe MSNBC viewers who are so concerned about over-consumption should actually do something about it. Might I suggest contacting all of MSNBC’s advertisers and saying, “I saw WALL-E and now I see the evils of my ways. I’m calling to tell you that I will no longer buy the products you are advertising on television. Thank you.”
