[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC and CBS on Monday offered sneering shots at Green Book, the Oscar winner for best picture, as not being sufficiently enlightened enough. Deriding the movie as “problematic” and “inauthentic,” Good Morning America and CBS This Morning chided it as a film that “glosses over” Jim Crow-era horrors. GMA’s Chris Connelly described Green Book as a “race relations movie whose older school approach never did garner the critical approval earned by some best picture competitors.” The movie tells the true story of an African American pianist and his Italian-American driver in the 1960s.
