I wrote at length about the timing of HBO’s adaptation of “Game Change,” — an obvious hit job that even the New York Times, Atlantic and Poynter Institute criticized for a lack of sourcing. But the Left is not about truth, they are only about tactics:
We’ll see how closely the film sticks to the book, but Governor Palin disputed how “Game Change” portrayed her and being as that it was one of the very few books I had time to read last year, it was easy to see why. Written by Mark Halperin of Time Magazine and MSNBC, and John Heilemann of the New Yorker, the lack of sourcing, the use of so many “anecdotes” based on tales told by “deep background” types, allowed the authors to craft their reporting in a way that was obviously meant to reaffirm the mainstream media’s biased narrative of the 2008 campaign — especially when it came to destroying Palin and enshrining President Obama. I don’t think Palin’s a perfect person by any stretch of the imagination but I don’t think Barack Obama is perfect either, but after reading “Game Change” — other than an out-sized opinion of himself — you most certainly come to the conclusion that the calm, cool, smart, thoughtful, steady, ready-for-history Barack walks on water.“Game Change” savages Palin with innuendo, gossip, and unnamed sources in order to portray her as some sort of supreme head case and diva who you would never believe was capable of amassing a resume that made her much more prepared to be president than the floundering failure ruining our economy right now. And I’m not the only one saying so. No less than the New York Times, the Atlantic and The Poynter Institute expressed concerns over the book’s gossipy lack of sourcing.
HBO has also found an actress to portray Governor Palin’s oldest daughter, Bristol:
Melissa Farman will play Sarah Palin’s daughter; Larry Sullivan and Jamey Sheridan also join the cast. …The flick is based on the bestselling book of the same name by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. It will be directed by Jay Roach, with a script from Danny Strong. The duo previously collaborated on HBO’s Emmy-winning film Recount. Playtone’s Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman will serves as executive producers on the project.
And we all saw how absurdly inaccurate and biased “Recount” was.
People Magazine reports that production on the film started today, but unless I’m missing it, no one is reporting when HBO will release the film. If someone can find a release date, please pass this along. If none is set, that would be rather interesting, as well.
Bottom line: HBO is producing a multi-million dollar in-kind contribution to the Obama 2012 campaign.
