3. Minister calls out national theater chain for showing 'propaganda', likens it to Russia or North Korea

An Oregon minister’s efforts to urge a movie theater chain to cease playing a promotional video for the U.S. Department of War before film showings is drawing attention.

The Rev. Chuck Currie, a minister in the United Church of Christ in Portland, complained in a letter to Regal Theaters that he and his family had gone to see Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” Sunday evening when the 90-second ad touting the U.S. Department of War played before the pre-film trailers.

“The audience was stunned,” he told USA TODAY, calling the video “a propaganda piece promoting Trump and the MAGA agenda.”

“It was like we were at a movie theater in Russia or North Korea,” Currie wrote in his letter, which he posted on social media. “Democracies do not do this.”
