I saw Tom Cruise on Leno pimping this movie, and they showed a clip in which Cruise (playing an evil Republican senator) was talking to Glenn Close (playing a journalist). The senator wanted the journalist to share some of the responsibility for the war in Iraq because, as he put it, she and her journalist colleagues were cheerleading for the war and pushing in favor of the invasion before it happened.

I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a comedic scene or some kind of weird Kafka parallel universe, but it's no wonder the movie is bombing if its creators are so detached from reality that they think the media is biased in favor of a war fought by George Bush.

“but it’s no wonder the movie is bombing”

No. This is the most talked about movie this year. Cruise and Close are being discussed as Academy Award nominees. The ad on TV says so.
