Doing my part to stop the lies

As a Netflix subscriber, I pick my movies and enjoy them, normally. However, this time I've decided to sit on one. That movie of lies 2016 was just put out today, and when I saw Netflix was going to offer it, I put it at the top of the list. There is no way I'm going to watch it, my blood pressure would blow arteries all over my brain. However, as long as I have it, and I'll have it sitting on my shelf until after the election, then I can at least minimize the spread of the lies.

Perfectly legal, I can keep the movie as long as I like. Perfectly fair, I enjoy the movie where it sits, on the shelf where it can't deceive anyone.

"2016" is at the top of 1000 NetFiix subscribers lists. Due to popular demand, the producers of 2016 have issued more DVDs.

But I think Netflix will not purchase a bunch more, they will probably spend the money on other movies with a more long lasting appeal than this drivel.

why not do your best to confront the lies and expose the movie rather than hide it on your shelf? i guess that is asking too much.

Perhaps burn a second disk and include it with the lies? You can't make people look the information up, and you can't make them listen and learn. The fact that Robme is doing so well in the polls is proof of that don't you think? But what I can do is this, sit on the disk, and limit the spread of the lies. It is legal, and fair. Netflix advertises that you can keep the disk as long as you like. So I am.

that's how. or/and put a website up refuting the information. trying to suppress something because you don't like it is a bullshit tactic and that of a coward. it may be legal... but not fair. how would you react if someone was doing that on a 'docudrama' that praised the President?
