My reaction was to go to Netflix and put The Thin Blue Line in my queue, as it has been some time since I've seen it. Weinstein seems to believe that this show should have been all about sound bites a'la Entertainment Tonight, and failed to grasp the fact that Fresh Air is a show of serious discussion. Even Weinstein goldenboy Quentin Tarantino gives thoughtful discussion when interviewed here, and holds back the jittery platitudes that often accompany his promotional tours.
