WND Serves Up Lazy ‘Meathead’ Insult To Attack Rob Reiner’s New Film (Which It Hasn’t Seen)

Like the Media Research Center, WorldNetDaily has an inability to separate an actor from a role he hasn’t played in nearly half a century and pretending he hasn’t done anything else with his life. Bob Unruh complained in a March 12 article:

The leader of the Catholic League has blasted “Meathead,” the actor Rob Reiner from the 1970s TV show “All in the Family,” for his attack on Christians.

And officials pointedly note Reiner’s attack, in his movie, flopped with Americans, taking in only about $38,000 in its opening weekend.

The details of Reiner’s attack, and failure, come in a report at Breitbart News.

It was Reiner who released “God and Country,” a video about an “alleged threat to American democracy posed by so-called Christian nationalists,” according to Bill Donohue, chief of the Catholic League.

“The Meathead would have the audience believe that we are on the verge of a theocratic takeover,” Donohue explains in the report, “though few outside of Hollywood and other secular subcultures pay any attention to this fable.”

He explained that Reiner bases his claims on the ideology created by Katherine Stewart, who “harbors a deep phobia about Christianity.”

The result, he said, is a demonstration of Hollywood’s “religiophobia.”

Leftists promoted the movie, and its messaging that Christian nationalism “bears an unfortunate similarity to the rise of Nazi Germany,” with Reiner claiming adherents are “out to make us a Christian nation.”

But Unruh doesn’t quote anyone discussing anything that’s actually in Reiner’s movie — it’s just an attack on the idea of the movie. That would make WND like the MRC as well. It’s unlikely that Unruh himself has seen it either.
