Mark Cuban also financed and exucutive produced a film called "Redacted." This was marketed as a supposed documentary on the Fallujah battle. It was later ferreted out as a fictitious "what could have happened" story spun with an incredibly negative slant against our troops and this nation. Free speech is what it is and you are free to support this kind of drivel. Me? I have friends in the military and don't particulary care to support outright slander of their character. That's just me though.
Mark Cuban has endorsed
Republican mayor Bloomberg of NYC for President, so I'd say he's definitely not left-leaning.
Additionally, I see no evidence that he was the primary financier for the movie
Syriana. He did finance
Redacted via Magnolia Pictures, however,
Syriana is a Warner Bros. film and was not financed by Cuban.
