The Big Commercial

A film about the killing of Osama bin Laden which will air two nights before the US presidential election has been re-edited to feature more footage of Barack Obama.

[...]

Harvey Weinstein, a studio head and prominent Democrat who has contributed to the president’s campaign, tweaked the film, Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden, to broaden Obama’s role. The new version of the 90-minute feature [...] will debut in primetime on 4 November on the National Geographic Channel, and be available the next day on Nextflix

  Raw Story

Ha. I had read they were releasing it after the election because of complaints about it being a big commercial for Obama, but that the release of trailers before the election was their way of getting around that. Perhaps that wasn't true. Or perhaps it was and they've decided Obama might not be a shoe-in after all.

..but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
