MOCKUMENTARY: Wow, an egregious story of media deception and story-twisting from Church of the Masses: “…Some of you will have read the NY Times article or seen the documentary last night on AMC. Turns out, the doc wasn’t on Religion in Hollywood at all, but rather on Republicans in Hollywood. After 30 minutes of stuff about Arnold and Charles Heston and the five young Republicans at a cocktail party, the doc segues into the Act One section. The implication clearly is that, if you are a committed Christian, you must also be a Republican.

“The doc also interviewed Patty Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) and made the same implicit connection by doing so. I’ve been at events with Patty where she has clearly identified herself as a Democrat. She said at UCLA, ‘Because I am pro-life, very often I have to hold my nose and vote Republican.’ The doc also incorrectly id’ed Patty as being the ‘Founder of Feminists for Life.’ She isn’t.

“So, we’re annoyed this morning at having been duped. I would never have allowed Mr. Moss access to Act One if he had been upfront that his project was about politics. Act One is absolutely non-partisan. I will, no doubt, spend the day, answering queries from faculty and friends and alumni, assuring them that Act One isn’t part of the Republican insurgency in the industry.”
