The uncle's name is Frank Murdoch, which means "Frank Murdoch" in Chinese. He obviously satirizes the world's right-wing media tycoons and controls Fox News (the base of the right-wing American media, exaggerating the Obama reform, the medical bill, planning Wall Street, giving financial measures to increase taxes on the rich, and describe measures to maintain social justice as "socialism" and "class struggle") journalism bosses.
In addition, in the film, when the uncle was watching TV depressedly, he saw
1. the remarks of a certain show host scolding the mother of the fallen soldier who opposed the Iraq War
2. The Tea Party protested the tax and attacked a man with Parkinson's disease , said he did not want to pay taxes for him to have the government pay for his medical bills.
And some other descriptions of right-wing conservative forces, although it is obviously exaggerated (such as beating Parkinson's patients, that is black humor), but that is a fallacy, that is, the screenwriter is trying to tell people: let this selfishness , What kind of situation will it get if bad things continue to develop regardless of the weak in society.
The 1950s and 1970s belonged to the "Great Compression" period of the American Democratic Party. At this time, the country's tax rate for the richest class was 90%, and a series of welfare systems formulated since Franklin Roosevelt were perfected. However, after World War II, the United States forcibly expanded itself. sphere of influence (no longer natural economic expansion, but through political coercion or even military aggression), launched wars in support of dictators and against national independence movements such as the Vietnam War, the invasion of the Panama Canal, etc., these events greatly depleted U.S. national strength (actually, I don’t think the Democratic Party’s policies of high taxation, high welfare, financial regulation, and space science and technology have brought down the U.S. economy, I think it’s its foreign expansion policy that has really brought down the U.S. economy).
In the 1980s, the Republican Reagan came to power and began a period of slow recovery - by massively reducing taxes on businesses and the financial bourgeoisie, the government almost stopped interfering in the economy, allowing a large number of factories to suddenly lay off American workers, move to developing countries, and suppress labor unions ,etc. The tax rate of the financial elite became lower than that of a laundry room worker, and financial speculation paid almost no tax to the government. This "free money economic system" is a neoconservative economic policy that has been affecting contemporary America. The economic recovery has been achieved with annual GDP growth of around 2%, but at a heavy price. With Bush's further destruction of the American economy, the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States has now reached a world-class level (a little worse than China's), social infrastructure is gradually obsolete, a large number of workers are unemployed, and racial conflicts have intensified since Clinton.
Since Reagan, the U.S. economy has adhered to the path of "individuals come first, corporations come first, society is irrelevant, philanthropy is trivial, and corporations have no institutional obligations to society", and American culture has also been determined by this economic guiding ideology.
At present, several media with the highest news ratings are right-wing, FOX News, NBC, etc., they broadcast some distorted social movements and reform measures to promote fairness in the United States all day long. Obama was described many times as a "socialist" before the 2008 election (this term is about as bad as the Nazis in the US, but now more and more people like the meaning of socialism because they know more, And in the American economy, the true seeds of socialism began to emerge—Democratic Company, Fair Trade, Micro Credit, etc., not Chinese state-owned enterprises, but real democracy and work in the workplace. equality). Now, his health care reform plan and tax reform have also been described by FOX News as a "class struggle against the rich."
The American right-wing media has, for a long time, distorted the facts and spread fear to lead the United States into the abyss of war and hinder social progress. The war in Afghanistan, the massacre of civilians in the Iraq war and the local people's dissatisfaction with the invading army were selectively ignored by the right-wing media.

"The War You Didn't See", a documentary about the cruelty of the Iraq War that was deliberately ignored by the mainstream media of the British and American right-wing. BBC reporter and former British diplomat publicly confessed. From the perspectives of the Iraqi people and Western journalists, it reflects the side of the Iraq War that was deliberately ignored by the Western mainstream media, and how the Western media was controlled by the government's information, accusing the journalists who were listed as the "number one threat" by the US government and were deliberately killed. .
However, Cheney and Bush Jr.'s trumped-up accusations against Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons were widely reprinted and repeatedly broadcast by right-wing media without confirmation. This discriminatory treatment of news materials and citing authorities without investigation (like Xinhua News Agency) directly violates the ethics of the media, and has a very bad influence on the American people who have long relied on mass media as an information source and educational channel. Since George W. Bush took office in 2001, until now, the American people have been indoctrinated with such a concept - "The Middle East is a group of terrorist lunatics, the reason why the United States is attacked by terror is because other people do not agree with our democratic ideals, and the United States is the victim. socialist reforms (true socialism ,
not characteristic socialism), including universal health care, energy reform, stem cell research, gay liberation, equality for minorities (the United States was at its strongest when immigrants prospered) time), was suppressed by the right-wing media through "class struggle" and "evil socialism" - this is to spread internal fears to make people support their policies.
The foreign policy has been shaped by the right-wing media to become abnormally nationalistic on the grounds of "national security", "dictatorship threat" and "terrorist invasion" - this is to spread external fears to make the people feel at risk and have to support conservatives. government.
The irony is that the Republican government, which has always made hype about terrorism, its main target of aggression is Iraq rather than Afghanistan. The highest number of troops stationed in Afghanistan in the past 8 years is less than 3,000; Democrat Obama killed bin Laden in less than 3 years in office
