Honestly wasn't really sure where to post this. Since this is supposedly a documentary, this seemed like the right place. Anyway, I thought is was a pretty good article talking about the slant of the doc, as well as the things surrounding Deen's "cancelling." A couple if interesting points the author makes:

• I agree that she could very easily rehab her public persona by embracing MAGA, but AFAIK she hasn't. If true, that does say something about her character. It's sad that such a low bar is to be commended, but here we are.
