| Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns calls Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg an 'enemy of the state' and says he should be JAILED |
| 2021-08-05 |
| [Daily Mail via Lucianne] Ken Burns blasted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as ’an enemy of the state’ who ’doesn’t give a s***’ about the United States and thinks he and his No. 2, Sheryl Sandberg, should be tried for crimes against humanity and put in prison. Burns, has been a prominent Democrat, did not say why he thinks Zuckerberg is a traitor. ’He knows he can transcend it. He can get away to any place,’ Burns, the award-winning film documentarian and historian, told The New York Times. ’And so it’s just about filthy lucre, that’s it.’ Burns, the 68-year-old two-time Oscar winner, made the remarks during an interview with Times podcaster Kara Swisher, who invited the filmmaker to talk to him about his latest project - famed boxer Muhammad Ali. He brought up Zuckerberg’s name unprompted even though Swisher didn’t ask about the tech mogul. Swisher did not follow up on Burns' comments, and the filmmaker did not specify why he thought Zuckerberg was a traitor. Instead, Swisher responded to the Zuckerberg comments by cryptically telling Burns: 'You’re going to love my memoir, Ken.' The filmmaker said he thought tech moguls like Zuckerberg, Sandberg, and others should stand trial like the Nazis at Nuremberg after the Second World War. Many would agree with Burns. There would be even more agreement if the MSM were tossed into that pot and some of our three-letter agencies. ’Because these people - and Sheryl is a complicit - the Nuremberg of this, is if it ever happens, which it won’t, will be pretty interesting,’ he said. The two then move on to discuss the craft of documentary filmmaking. |

| #10 Actually he's more of an 'Ally of [deep] State'. And an 'Enemy of the people'. |

| #8 Dunno about plot and politics and stuff, but I'm loving the names. And Swisher's current sweetie being "Amanda Katz?" Please. |

| #6 Look at the very respectful treatment given Robert E. Lee in Episode 6 of Burns' 1990 The Civil War. Burns could be un-personed any day now, if the woke were in the habit of watching historical documentaries. |

| #4 I could be wrong but i don't think Burns is waking up from woke, I think he's super-charged his woke. He thinks Zuckerberg has been weak in not shutting out all conservatives. I suspect Burns had a family member or friend send him a conservatives meme on facebook and blew a gasket... Or he knows he'll be added to the MeToo list before long and hopes to insulate himself. |

| #2 Makes it sound like he's waking up from "woke". Another article (down the memory hole, sorry) makes it clear he's pissed because the big Zuck is still allowing some conservative voices on Farcebook |
