#OETA #MovieClub #Judy
Normally I'm otherwise occupied at this hour on Saturdays, but #Snowmageddon is happening now so I tuned in to the state's PBS station and caught the movie "Judy", about Judy Garland's later years. The host of the show typically gives out tidbits of trivia, and the one tidbit he gave out just now was jaw-dropping, at least to me.

The movie he was showing starred Renee Zelweger and he said there was another movie that was in the works but starring Anne Hathaway, basically a similar biopic but focusing on the abuses Judy suffered under one of her studio's owners. It never got made, but what's noteworthy, given the focus of that movie, was that the producer was Harvey Weinstein.

If you are in #StephanieBice's US house district (most of the #OKC Metro is), please call her office at 405-300-6890 and urge her to vote no on the massive cuts to public media, including our own #OETA, #KGOU, and #KOSU..

And then share this message. She needs to know the political cost that comes from rubberstamping Trump's cuts to these vital sources of news and cultural programming, especially for #rural Oklahonans.

Oh you thought you was slick posting anticommunist propaganda then post hasbara the next day? As you're shamelessly asking for Oklahoman's money because the same capitalist government that told you to do so is defunding you? Irony.
