Artful and honest film

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2020

Hoaxed doesn’t avoid taking a stand but it also does not fail to be nuanced.

It shows not merely the sins of the media but of the individual both in the production and ostensibly the audience. It refuses to engage in hagiography.

The production value is very high, the technical achievement is superb, and it’s artful. It manages to simultaneously explain how manipulation works while artfully pulling on the viewers emotions. It’s quite sophisticated and will cause the savvy member of the audience to both feel something and question that feeling almost all at once. It’s very meta as Mike would say.

It holds a mirror up to the corporate media, to the viewer, and even to themselves as makers of (alternative) media and thus as influencers. This is an excellent film.

Hoaxed Exposes Everyday Democrat Threats

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2020

So much of the cynical media manipulation is deeply hidden, dispersed and overlooked. It takes guys like Mike Cernovich who walked through the Fake News fire to expose it.

Our family was hoaxed: destroyed by losing Democrats and their conjugal media. Three years after the bogus Russia investigations began, the hate is burned in. The low IQ left will always call me a traitor, they’ll always threaten to kill me, they’ll make sure I don’t ever work again so my children suffer. After 59 death threats, I know one may eventually kill me.

Now, with Hoaxed on the record, Cernovich has exposed this dirtbag leftist cabal. So when I get killed (and take 5 or 6 of these bastards with me), this film will help explain why - and help hold the media responsible.

Thank you to all involved; I don’t care if these enemies of America think you’re “controversial.” Truth hurts.

Journalism: Where The Narrative Comes First and The FACTS Never Arrive

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

HOAXED addresses a troubling fact we face w/news and information. Michael Cernovich and several other gonzo reorters tackle an issue that is downright frightening. Could parts of freedom of speech really become criminal? Where do we go for information without a biased view? The last 50 yrs America has been fed a steady diet of PC narratives. The list is endless. The media knows the public will believe just about anything. Orson Welles infamous radio address WAR OF THE WORLDS proved that. With the onset of an unregulated social media, a plethora of ridiculous allegations and unsubstantiated facts are emerging on both sides (conservative and liberal).

One of the most compelling scenes in HOAXED involves Cernovich (attorney by trade) combating 60 minutes Scott Pelley. Pelley is grilling Cernovich's over a claim he made regarding Hillary Clinton's health. Cernovich’s claim related to her falling before entering her motorcade in the 2016 presidential health. Cernovich (obviously didn't know what prompted Secretary Clinton to fall.) But he turns the tables on Pelley's question. Pelley pretends he knew what caused the fall (after all...he's on 60 minutes) through a "reliable source." This scene is THE single MOST important in the documentary. It clearly demonstrates how lightweight these ego maniacal investigative blow dried hairdos are.

Social media parallels JOHANNES GUTENBERG discovery of the printing press in the 1440's. It transcended borders, captured the masses in the Reformation and threatened the power of the political ruling class. The elite upper class started losing its stronghold once the lower class became literate. TV NEWS is similar. Vying for eyeballs no longer there. ADAPT OR DIE" seems inevitable.

As for the viewer? No one is to blame but ourselves for accepting the partisan nonsense we've believed since the 1960's. America's press knew how to stir the pot. Creating racial divide, class warfare, bedlam, mayhem, violent protests, religious demagoguery, etc. A sadist news format hiding behind the 1st Amendment. The media truly believes humans are incapable of thinking on their own.

Left wing activists has been winning the "culture wars" in America the past 50 yrs. Their wasn't any competition. When FOX NEWS came along and opened up Pandora's Box, a crusade for the silent majority began. Conservatism grew larger in popularity and the LIBERAL MONEY TRAIL started to dry up. Profits have dwindled so dramatically at CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and ABC since the late 90's that it's very likely some of the aforementioned will fold. News Corp (FOX) wasn't ashamed of who they were skewing. Politicos refer to this as simply catering to your base. As long as the narrative is ideological driven by/credible likable anchors people lose sight of the message. FOX has loyal fans...not viewers.

Modern news is framed into 3 categories. JOURNALISM/INFORMATION/OPINION. There are a few basic elementary rules applicable to modern/tabloid JOURNALISM. 1) Show fast and furious video w/flashy graphics. 2) A reporters cadence should sound as if the SKY IS FALLING w/his or her machine gun delivery. 3) Create controversy at every turnstile. 4) Telegenic folks only. 5) Catchy phrases. BOMBSHELL REPORT. GRAPHIC IMAGES. BREAKING TONIGHT.

Can in depth reporting actually exist in a 1:30 story? TV focus groups have shown time and again that viewers only pay attention to those delivering the news. Translation: He or she w/the best hair and prettiest face gets the job. The content be damned. As for the print reporters? Bad times are about to reach epidemic proportions. The NY TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, L.A. TIMES (as well as the 3 broadcast networks) find themselves on a couple of frightening fronts. Foremost, dwindling revenues. Dealing with an unfiltered-outlaw-bulldog president, always ready for a good skirmish. Not to mention his huge fan base. Full Disclosure: I have no use for INFO WARS Alex Jones. He isn't a crusader. He's Howard Stern with a conservative audience.

Cernovich points out that NO other president in modern times has had the courage to actually put forth an America first agenda. After years of beating up on presidents, the shameless press has finally met its match. A GODZILLA LEADER who speaks the common mans language. They are also wrestling with unruly cyber "deplorable" fans on TWITTER and FACEBOOK.

in 1996 no one could have predicted that Rupert Murdoch would transform cable news. FNC is the MOST POWERFUL NEWS OUTLET on the planet. The same left wing media experts that said it would be a cold day in hell before Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States. So much for predictions, political polls and pundits. It's a BRAVE NEW WORLD. GOOD NIGHT and GOOD LUCK (getting the truth that it is).

A challenge to what you want to believe.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020

This is an informative piece that forces the viewer to AT LEAST reevaluate their personal bias. Humans are not a perfect being and therefore cannot perceive we are without flaw. The meadia has been broadstroaking how we think, how we feel and ultimatley how a small fraction of people control the puppets that tell us what we NEED to know.

We are being trained, as a society, to automatically label people for a singular event. To ruin their lives is the end game for those who put a ripple into status quo.

Hoaxed does a great job of showing the front lines of new age journalism. It shows how the mainstream media (MSM) can't handle the ripple of these new age information warriors. The ones willing to put their name thorugh mud in the hopes to preserve truth. Hoaxed documents how these individuals challange the narrative that's being feed to us through our tv sets.

This film sort of validates a feeling that I've had about the media since I can remember. I have, to this day, never really thought journailism was as esteemed and virtuous as they claim to be.

This film can either unveil some bleak times we're living in or it can show you that there is some light out there and you just need to follow it and, in turn, write the wrong this world is becoming.

Cernovich has shined a light as many others that were included in this film that the media is only looking out for the media once you go against their narrative they will try to end you..... Great job Cerno!

Writing this review in March 21st 2020 during the Wuhan Coronavirus, Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic. The media as they called it as such now deems calling that racist.

My take away, keep an open mind, love each other, don't let the media divide us and for goodness sake open your eyes to the lies. Find the courage to come out of the cave.
