4/5
It is a splenetic, satiric attack on the formidable PR forces, spurious thinktanks and talking heads being mobilised in the US to attack the idea of man-made global warming. Go to Full Review

There's precious little 'exposed' in Greedy Lying Bastards that hasn't already been thoroughly examined in previous, vastly superior docs Go to Full Review

If ever a documentary needed Michael Moore's ability to debunk the rich and powerful in his inimitable sardonic style, it's here. Go to Full Review

geoff a 03/08/2016 A fair documentary which exposes the issues. But I'm afraid there are better. I found it to dwell too long on examples rather than exploring facts. And I'm afraid, as other have said, I didn't enjoy the narration. See more 08/01/2015 Propaganda for the masses See more 07/23/2015 An awfully biased movie full of lies and hatred. See more 05/23/2014 I liked the doc. but the voice over/narrator's voice is too effeminate, in my opinion. Someone else being hired to present more dulcet tones would have helped this. See more 04/06/2013 wow, communist propagandists ripping on job producers. Original. And it still sucks. See more 03/23/2013 Anything that Christofascist Republicans don't want people to know about or talking about is something that is obviously worth seeing and talking about. See more Read all reviews
