Critics and crowds don’t always see eye to eye.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Oscars nominees rarely match that year’s box office champions. That’s to be expected but in theory, critics should be guiding audiences to the best of the best films.<\/p>\n

And, of course, steering them clear of the worst.<\/p>\n

There’s something else happening in the cultural landscape now. Critics are leaning into their ideological biases in ways that leave audiences behind.<\/p>\n

Consider these two disparities:<\/p>\n

\"Dave<\/a><\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Chappelle was considered one of the best stand-up comics alive. He’s drawn the Left’s wrath in recent years due to his aggressively unwoke material.<\/p>\n

Thus, the terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.<\/p>\n

Audiences don’t share those values, by and large. They cheered on the content sans filter.<\/p>\n

RELATED: ARE CRITICS AVOIDING ‘SCREAMS BEFORE SILENCE?’ <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A similar theory describes the chasm with “The Acolyte” responses. The Disney+ show’s hard-left messaging<\/a>, combined with the company’s public diversity-at-all-costs push, likely wooed some critics. Audiences, exhausted by such messaging, rejected the show’s clunky storytelling.<\/p>\n

The bigger picture?<\/p>\n

The modern critic is reflexively liberal<\/a>, and it shows. Some won’t even review titles that challenge their worldview.<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest example confirms it.<\/p>\n

“Reagan,” starring Dennis Quaid as the country’s 40th president, is a sympathetic look at the late president. Critics have savaged the film, giving the title a 19 percent “rotten” rating (and sinking)<\/a> at the time of this article’s publication.<\/p>\n

Audiences love the movie so far, thus the 96 percent “fresh” audience rating.<\/p>\n

Critics needn’t pull their punches to align with the masses. Most, however, should do their level best to criticize films without their ideological filters getting in the way.<\/p>\n

There’s a catch here.<\/p>\n

President Reagan was right when he said, \u201cFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Take the whole family to see the movie \u201c#REAGAN<\/a>,\u201d and see how great America can be, once again!<\/p>\n
