When the movie "Zero Dark Thirty," was set to be released at the beginning of October, this October, quite a few people made a stink about it and the producers sheepishly changed the release date. I know, this would have been a great propaganda film for obama and won't do him any good when it is released after November...but don't worry...hollywood isn't going to let their guy down. National Geographic, in cooperation with Harvey Weinstein, is going to release a 2 hour documentary on the killing of bin laden...on November 4th. So, bin laden's corpse will be dragged across your television screen, in your home, rather than at the theater. I know...whew...we almost didn't have that helpful piece of propaganda...but now we do. I love hollywood.

Of course the rightwing nutters will also have their movie Atlas Shruggedart 2 that comes out October 12. We all know that the Tea Party crazies will go and see that movie. Sure, it has nothing to do with Mitt Romney, but the Federal Election Commission should confiscate all copies of the film until after the election and then release it in say...2070. It is just going to stir up all those "potentially" violent Tea partiers and like that other youtube video, the makers of the movie should be taken into custody...

Two days before the election, on Sunday November 4, the National Geographic Channel (Nat Geo) will broadcast amulti-million dollar, two hour pro-Obama campaign advertisement. For legal purposes and to avoid any messy entanglements with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Nat Geo is disguising the two-hour pro-Obama ad as entertainment, specifically a film titled: “Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden.”
One of the companies behind the two-hour pro-Obama ad is The Weinstein Company, which is co-chaired by longtime Obama fundraiser Harvey Weinstein. Like Nat Geo, both The Weinstein Company and Mr. Weinstein have avoided any messy entanglements with the FEC by disguising their multi-million dollar in-kind contribution to Barack Obama's reelection campaign as "entertainment."
Imagine if you will an alternate universe in a Twilight Zone where our media is not hopelessly corrupt and just as eager to hold Democrats accountable as Republicans. In that world, the very idea that Big Business would shirk campaign finance by pouring millions into a campaign commercial disguised as a film would raise some eyebrows. In that world, a television network broadcasting said commercial would be subjected to questions about an in-kind contribution.
Unfortunately, we don’t live in a just world, though, and while honest supporters of Mitt Romney, like Sheldon Adelson, are brutalized by the likes of the corrupt Politico for registering as super PACs and disclosing their legal contributions, sleazy television networks and movie producers get a pass -- you know, because Obama.
