    With dozens of key players, it’s all too easy to get a bit lost in the weeds. But for as much research as Gibney and company clearly did in order to build the series on firm ground, in the absence of any rock solid answers, “Agents of Chaos” ends up drawing frustratingly simplistic connections between its more fascinating themes.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I'm somebody who is a VERY anti-Trump and anti-Putin individual, and also very left leaning as well, but when I see how narcissistic and trapped in their own Ivory Tower the neo-liberal establishment is, it doesn't shock me that Trump got elected.… Full Review »
