Will President Obama go on Television and denounce his own movie? If not, why not? The Obama administration gave film producer, Harvey Weinstein, the inside intel, support, and confidential access for the production of the movie.  Hmmmm?

[…]  The movie was produced by Harvey Weinstein, a  major Obama supporter. In August, the Hollywood heavyweight hosted a lavish  $35,800-a-person fundraiser for the president at his oceanfront Connecticut  compound.

Weinstein was joined by actress Anna  Hathaway, director Aaron Sorkin and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at the  event which was attended by about 50 wealthy donors.

(The Daily Mail)  The National Geographic Channel’s Washington, DC headquarters has increased security after being inundated with terror threats over the upcoming release of the film Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden, according to a source.

The full-length feature film is the first dramatization of the U.S. special forces operation that killed the mastermind of the September 11 attacks in Pakistan last May.

According to a New York Post source, the channel has been bombarded with phone calls and blogs posts from ‘Muslim extremist groups’ warning that anyone airing a film like this is asking for trouble.

‘Enough threats have come in that the network is on higher security alert,’ the source said. ‘They have a huge public building with a museum and 1,600 people working.’

The movie, which focuses on one of President Obama’s most successful moments in office, will premiere just two days before the November 6 election, drawing fire from critics on the right who have accused National Geographic of being partisan.

[…] A spokesperson for National Geographic told  the Post that the channel will air the film ‘no matter what,’ adding, ‘we are  big believers in the First Amendment.’

The movie will be available on Netflix  streaming 24 hours after its TV premiere. (read more)
