[Turner Classic Movies: Enemy of Film Watchers]

Stop forcing your opinions down our throats. Introduce the movie.Give State Facts. The Characters, Actors, Screenplays and Writers,  Directors, Soundtracks,  Remakes, Chemistry between actors, interactions between directors and actors, Famous Films that inspired Directors today and INFORMATIVE Facts are the reasons your channel was so unique and appealing. You can't tell me how to feel about films. This is ART.  Just as some appreciate great paintings and classical music; your followers appreciate great works of the culmination of all those aforementioned. However, a Professor of Art, Dance or Music provides all variations of the art. Students learn from these Examples and develop their own opinions WITHOUT being instructed on how to FEEL. No one learns from a narrow minded teacher who selects which art is good or bad. As Individuals we form our own opinions. We prefer classical to jazz or rock. Visa versa. We may select Impressionist Art as opposed to Renaissance Art. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let everyone form their own opinion. Do not make us feel GUILTY about History. We did not have anything to do with what happened and all we can do is appreciate the lessons learned from experience. We Have Morals. Don't lecture us. You are not there to judge 

You are there to ENTERTAIN. Otherwise the majority will STOP watching and you will end up like the NFL , NBA & MLB.

Two reasons for this:  1) Osborne would not have let it happen; 2) Mank has a agenda and too many axes to grind.   He's been on "mission creep" for quite some time:  "All the Presidents' Men" at the festival with Carl Bernstein and the other two goof-balls who were Hillary cheerleaders (this was in 2016).     Politics (or an official political POV) on the channel should be avoided to the greatest extent possible.   Being Atlanta-based, TCM may be tempted to jump on the Georgia voting laws like Coke and American Airlines, but I would strongly advise against it.  People don't watch TCM for politics, that's what they want to escape.   For that they can turn to that other Atlanta-headquartered  organization that Ted Turner had something to do with, called CNN.   Nuff said ! 

Well Stated. History cannot be cancelled.  It is not ANYONE'S job to educate viewers how some find Gone With the Wind offensive. The hosts ruined"Breakfast at Tiffany's"  with their detailed explanation of Asian hate for the character played by Mickey Rooney. No one ever complained about this Comedy. I'm offended by the choice TCM has made to join the cancel culture.
