A Higher Loyalty  LOLOL

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2020/05/08/column-hollywoods-heroic-comey-story-collapses


If the "first draft of history" in the news media sounds dubious, the "second draft" made by Hollywood is almost certainly going to be worse. I'm not talking about documentaries, which can be judged as journalism. I'm talking about movies and TV shows, which will inevitably be pressed to dramatize things so it is ever more loosely "based on real events."

CBS has been preparing a miniseries based on ex-FBI director James Comey's memoir, pompously titled A Higher Loyalty. In it, he lectured "Ethical leaders choose a higher loyalty to those core values over their own personal gain." But the personal gain was sweet for Comey.

First came the high-roller book deal with a rollout of 850,000 copies, heavily promoted by all the Democrat-repeating networks. In Comey's case, that included an hour-long primetime ABC "news" special, interviewed by that nonpartisan George Stephanopoulos.

The book sold like hotcakes to Trump haters. Then add some more millions for optioning the book to Hollywood for "entertainment."

 

This is rich!!!

I wonder...if they've picked someone for Comey's part.  I sure De Niro would love to have it, he's such a Trump-hater...
