#StopMorganLie: Twitterati disappointed in Freeman after his ‘War with Russia’ video
“Brainwashing” and “propaganda machine” – that gives just a flavor of the Twitter reactions to Morgan Freeman’s anti-Russian video. To be charitable, the video does not seem to have had the desired effect on social media: some users have gone as far as saying they have lost respect for the Hollywood star.

Freeman’s comments, leveled at “Russia's continuing attacks on our [US] democracy” have created quite a stir on Twitter. People said that the ‘democracy’ statement is pure hypocrisy, as the US has been at war with and interfering in the affairs of many other states, such as Libya, Ukraine and Iraq.
Wtf! US has 900+ mil bases in 153 countries, has overthrown govts & meddled in foreign elections, always at war. This is pure hypocrisy.

I didn't think Morgan Freeman was going to work on the propaganda. My respect for him fell below the bottom. When I'm bored with this.

Really disappointed in you, Morgan Freeman. The great respect I had for you has just been destroyed by you fronting this distorted rubbish.
