Chadwick Matlin/Slate doesn't mention Mexican government funding of "Under the Same Moon"

On March 27, Chadwick Matlin of Slate Magazine offered a "post" (no permalink at slatev.com/blog.html) entitled "Weinstein Company Owns Lou Dobbs" about the movie "Under the Same Moon". As with Neal Ungerleider, Owen Gleiberman, and others, he fails to note that the movie was financed by the Mexican government:

In this commercial for the Spanish-language film Under the Same Moon, the Weinstein Company uses Lou Dobbs' anti-immigration reputation to highlight the sensitivity of their movie and the ridiculousness of Dobbs' views

Slate's lame attempt at highlighting online videos might be a bit less lame if they hired people who weren't useful idiots or worse.
