I can't think of a better argument against public radio (and I'm not trying to argue against public radio!) and in favor of, say, Clear Channel. Worse, it appears that the reviewer didn't bother to see the movie: a - no, THE - major focus of the film is the danger of supposed moral clarity and the truly ruinous danger in (and partial falsehood of) the Jedi's surety in their rightness. I can forgive flawed despotism and aristocratic smugness (sometimes), but I can't forgive reviewers who can't muster a high-school grade understanding of a popular film.
In another irony, I won't bother to actually listen to the review because public radio makes their audio available online in a private (flawed, despotic) format. There are plenty of alternatives that are neither smug, nor aristocratic, nor despotic. Shame on you, NPR. It's two-double-ought-five, you prigs.
