Why does Hollywood thinks anyone buys their one-sided propaganda pieces. Mary Mapes is still in denial and bitter over the whole thing. If they told the true story it might be remotely interesting, but since they are gonna tell the story from fictional viewpoint, it is a complete waste of time.

...like all stories, was imperfect... - And unlike most stories, was a laughable hoax.

Lies are eternal embers, flaring up in the drafts of evil, spewing soot that discolors the white marble of truth. Words won't snuff them as words are their fuel. It is the bellows man that must be removed.

Like Carter nearly replaced Johnson as the worst President ever, this movie might replace Ishtar on the worst-ever list of films.

BTW - I did see a movie that came very close to bumping Ishtar of the prominent perch of putrid performances, it was Martin Sheen in the movie "Da"

I hear all the beautiful Hollywood starlets are clawing each others' eyes out, fighting over who gets to play Mary Mapes.

I think this is designed to capitalize on what Hollywoodists see as Obama’s inevitable victory, recalling the heroic struggle that led to that triumph.

In that sense it is like the spate of anti-war movies that were made to capitalize on the ignominious defeat of American forces in Iraq, a defeat Hollywood was sublimely sure would already have happened by the time the movies were released.

They could well be in for another costly surprise. You might think they would learn after a while but, as with all fantasy ideologues, acting out the narrative is far more important than the objective reality.

his credits include serving as executive producer on the USA Network series “Burn Notice”

Uggghh...I think I can see the quality of film we're looking at already...

A Rathergate Movie?

A Rathergate MUSICAL!

THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE DAN AWAY
Tune: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!"

Remember when I broke the news
How Bush got in the Guard
And didn't have to leave
To go to Vietnam?
Well . . .

I pushed that story hard
Just weeks before Election Day
And so of course you know
The thoughts I had in my mind
Like . . .

They're going to give me a prize, Ha-ha!
They're going to give me a prize, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a journalist
Who helps the Democrats all the time
And I'll be happy to put
That nice award
In my trophy case
And they're going to give me a prize, Ha-haaa!

You thought it was a fake
And so you cringed
You cringed when people said
That superscript was not done at that time
Right . . .

The people laughed, I heard them laugh
They laughed, they laughed and laughed
You made me leave
But now you know I'm Rather upset!
So . . .

I'm going to take you to court, Ha-ha!
I'm going to take you to court, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a tidy sum
Like six--no, seventy million bucks
And put me back on the Evening News
And make all the viewers watch
And I'm going to take you to court, Ha-haaa!

I read your news
I gave my views
And this is how you pay me back
For all my years of bold unbiased news?!
Hah . . .

Well, you just wait
I'll find the proof
And when I do
They'll know that Dan is not some sort of old unbalanced nut!
'Cause . . .

They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha!
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the anchor desk
With lights and cameras and breaking news
And four producers who sit and smile
And tell me that I'm the best
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!
