Following pointed criticism from President Barack Obama for shelving “The Interview,” Sony Pictures Entertainment on Friday defended its decision, claiming it had no choice but to cancel the film’s Christmas Day theatrical release.
Obama said during a press conference Friday that Sony “made a mistake” in dropping “The Interview.” However, the studio fired back, saying the cancellation happened only because the country’s top theater chains pulled out. “This was their decision,” Sony said in a statement.

Michael LYNTON’s password was sonyml3
Hmm I’ll see if sonym14 works now...
Now, about the Benghazi video. I believe Obama stopped that.
I guess we can add film production and distribution to retail outlets to Obama’s list of “things he knows absolutely nothing about, yet runs his mouth over”.
Hollywood types thrown under the bus. It doesn’t get better.
The movie got bad reviews inside Sony. I think they are glad to get it out of the theaters.
The leaked emails about Franco are funny.
How's that for gushing with hypocrisy? BO falls all over himself trying to act like a dictator and to censor press reports about himself that he doesn't like. Amazingly ridiculous. . . .
I guess there are no real problems in the world, so the President of the United States feels like the most important thing for him to worry about is how a movie studio handles a private movie release.
Which of course, Sony had nothing really to do with, as the problem wasn’t Sony, it was the movie theaters refusing to show the movie. Can’t release a movie if the theaters won’t show it.
And of course, the movie theaters won’t show the movie because they are worried that a terrorist will blow up their theater if they do.
And THAT is because the movie theaters, like most of us, know this administration is incompetent, and can’t protect us from foreign attack.
Now, THAT is something the President should talk about. But instead of explaining what the government is going to do to protect the people from North Korea (which is actually a job the federal government HAS), he complains about Sony, and says they should have “called him”.
Probably so he could ask them for campaign contributions. After all, if you give the democrats a lot of money, they might take your concerns more seriously. We know that, because there is published evidence that companies that give democrats money get things from this government in return.
The people don’t give enough money, so the administration will let terrorists kill us.
“What do we want?... Government Censorship.”
“When do we want it?... for Christmas.”
“Hands Up, Don’t show it.”
And now Sony will take direction on how to make movies from al sharpton, I’m sure al will receive a proper fee for his advice and I’m sure all the movies will be big hits. I bet jessies envious.
Tyrants like Kim Jong-un and Barky 0’Bamster fail to find humor in satirical portrayals of themselves. Any attempt at such impudence must be immediately squashed.
How's that for gushing with hypocrisy? BO falls all over himself trying to act like a dictator and to censor press reports about himself that he doesn't like. Amazingly ridiculous.

Obama is one sick, crazy president.
He is the most powerful man in the free world.
My point is this: He should have called Sony officials first and personally offered to help Sony with this horrible cyber attack.
Instead, Obama is throwing Sony officials under the bus by saying that Sony officials should have called him for advice.
What a lousy president Obama is.
Obama vs Sony vs North Korea. This could cause a popcorn shortage.
More like:
“The president and the press LIED about it”
and
“The public are mistaken as a result of foolishly believing the lies.”
Man stubs toe in Ohio.
Obama to speak on dangers of stubbing toes and his Executive Order to end it.
POTUS knew what happened. It’s like everything else the regime does and that includes his use of the “Bully Pulpit” to promote racial division discouraging any talk of impeachment.
In this case make it look like they didn’t listen to him because he’s in charge. When he should have been going after the NORKS for pulling this off but won’t because they got help from China.
I’d be willing to bet NK isn’t behind it.
In fact I’m willing to bet this is coming from our very own govt and it is being used as a demonstration and threat to the MSM of what can be done to them if they don’t tow the approved dem party line.
Too many reporters have been leaving the dem plantation and they aren’t on the Hillary bandwagon.
I have a feeling something major is coming down the pike and the MSM will once again go into full propaganda mode in blaming it on the republicans when all the evidence points to the dems as being behind it.
