Nov. 21, 2024

Greetings! You don’t see this every day.  Antisemites are being courted to watch a new movie. Tomorrow, Angel Studios, the conservative-friendly producers of the last summer’s box office hit Sound of Freedom,  releases its latest film Bonhoeffer, promoting it with a most unusual marketing hook.  “(W)e’re prioritizing free tickets specifically for antisemites,”  explains Angel Studios co-founder Jeffrey Harmon. “Who needs to know the evils of antisemitism more than antisemites?”  Already, 2500 free tickets have been distributed for “Bonhoeffer” that tells the story of a German pastor who risked his life to plan the assassination of Hitler.  My marketing tip for Angel Studios?  Re-name the film. Who can pronounce that title much yet remember it?….Biden was rooting for Trump to win the election because he wanted revenge against his own party that kicked him to the curb. So claims the Washington Times…Who wants to cruise to Norway with a ship full of MAGA fellow travelers? The right wing Media Research Center is touting a voyage around the Scandinavian country in late summer 2025.  No word on the featured speakers, but I wouldn’t count on Lynn Cheney or Mitt Romney.  Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán would probably be a big draw…Pen pals! Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have published a joint bylined op-ed in the Wall Street Journal outlining their plan to “reform” government…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
