The Reoccurring Omission of ‘Game Change’ Defenders
C4P ^ | 3/2/2012 | Stacy Drake

I have been witnessing a trend with those in the media who are defending HBO’s movie, ‘Game Change.’ They keep repeating the same line about Governor Palin’s aides, the ones who stood up for her last week to correct the record, not seeing the film yet. Therefore insisting that these people simply cannot speak on the matter. Never mind the fact that anybody can see from the trailers what this movie is trying to imply, it’s funny that these film critics would use this line to defend the movie. Especially when you consider that HBO spoon-fed it to them in a letter that accompanied their copies of the film to screen. Via Politico:

In a letter to news editors that accompanied “Game Change” screeners, HBO’s Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications, Quentin Schaffer, writes:

“There has been some noise about the film … Much of it has come from several Palin aides trying to discredit it even though they haven’t yet seen it."

As Adrienne noted in this fine take-down of Rachel Weiner, “The Fix” writer used the line, and so did David Zurwik from the Baltimore Sun. I’m sure there will be more, if there isn’t already. HBO sent it to everyone and considering they’re all on the same team, it stands to reason.

The same writers in the media who repeat HBO’s talking point regarding Governor Palin’s aides not seeing the entire movie completely omit from their analysis the fact that some of these people asked HBO to screen the film but were denied. Why didn’t HBO address this in their letter since their statement was meant to address the comments made by these aides?

Moron!! his own press releases and the critics have already said as much as the fact that this is a hit piece on Palin!!

In case anyone is paying attention, this kind of crapola is exactly why we should boycott everything Hollyweird produces. Hollyweird, like the leftists they idolize, despise conservatives and have called us the vilest of names. And, yet, like sheep to slaughter, we can't wait to see the next crappy movie they produce, or the next crappy TV show they produce or the next album they produce.

The sooner we cut off their income, the sooner these leftist twits will understand the size of the audience they are denigrating!!

I don’t need to take the lid off of a trash can to know that there’s trash inside of it.
