Liberals are outraged. It's Martin Luther King Jr. weekend for crying out loud and a film about a sniper is breaking records while a film about MLK himself is in a box-office death spiral.
And those who go to see “Selma” are largely paid to go:
“WASHINGTON I WENT Friday morning to see Selma and found myself watching it in a theater full of black teenagers.
Thanks to donations, D.C. public school kids got free tickets to the first Hollywood movie about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on his birthday weekend an effort that was duplicated for students around the country.”
