I don't think Ebert is saying that either. It's just that he doesn't want artistic works to express brutality and only brutality without context.
Although he did give Clockwork Orange only two stars (I remember this from a Gene Siskel review where he talked about the review that most haunts Roger - and it was Siskel's review of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls)
