Here is an example of the institutional blindness of the media. A reporter for the Detroit News does a blog on movies. Below is an excerpt he titles 'Nazi's for the holidays', there are a lot of Nazi movies that come out this time of year and this reporter was addressing the issue.
But instead of realizing the obvious reason for it he goes off in some nonsensical direction about the holidays being a perfect time to show depressing movies because everyone is soooo happy. How ridiculous is that? Everyone's happy so Hollywood figures to cash in on that by depressing everyone with the same old rehashed tales of woe of the holocost? WTF? that doesn't even make any sense.
The only part of the article that made any sense was his assertion that the movies are a thinly veiled attempt to win Oscar attention because the unspoken meaning behind that is that any movie that portrays some trial and tribulation of jews is going to get Oscar accomadation. Why? All the jews that sit in judgement on what is considered Oscar worthy.
The real reason for all the Nazi movies at Christmas is the jew attempt to piss on the Christian holiday by laying on the guilt. It's obvious and anyone not blinded by PC dogma should be able to see it. At the very least some critical thinking, and commentary should accompany the fact that largely jewish interests make these movies, which is nothing but self-serving. If the reporter was not so blinded by his inability to see past the pro-jewish agenda, then it would be obvious.

Nazis for the holidays
It's Christmas time, so there must be Nazis. Partly that's because it's also Oscar time, but partly it's because holidays and Nazis go together so well.
Playing in theaters right now is the harrowing "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas," a stark juxtaposition of chidish innocence and a Nazi concentration camp.
On Christmas Day we'll get "The Reader," a story about Nazi war crimes starring Kate Winslet.
Coming the day after Christmas will be "Valkyrie," in which Tom Cruise stars as a Nazi officer determined to assassinate Hitler. I'm guessing that doesn't work out real well for Tom.
Following on its heels will be "Defiance," a film starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber as Jews who fought back against the Nazis during World War II.
All four films probably aspire to awards consideration, so it makes sense that they're coming out now. But it also makes sense that they're coming out around the holidays.
Darkness plays well against joy. It's why many of the best crime films -- "Die Hard," "Lethal Weapon," "The Long Kiss Goodnight," "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" -- are set during the holidays.
And even after 60 years, nothing plays darker than a Nazi. There's a natural tendency to save serious films about the Nazi horror for a time when we can bear it best.
That ho-ho-ho and Heil Hitler share space in the cultural continuum may seem odd and perhaps even twisted. But what better time to face the darkness than while standing in the light?
