\"FoxThe reality challenged Fox Nationalists have done it again. In a story about the absurdly named crockumentary, Sarah Palin: Undefeated<\/em>, Fox Nation posted an item with the headline…<\/p>\n

“Palin Film Selling Out in Theaters.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The item is linked to a story by Reuters that actually reported that the “Sarah Palin documentary sells out Grapevine, Texas.”<\/em> As Reuters notes “Grapevine isn’t exactly a teeming metropolis,”<\/em> and the film thus far has only 10 theaters scheduled to run it nationwide.<\/p>\n

So rather than selling out theaters (plural), it was a single theater in one town in Texas. The desperation of Fox Nation to hype this turkey is palpable. They don’t want a repeat of the embarrassing failure of the Ayn Rand pic, Atlas Shrugged. But this is so pathetic it’s laughable.<\/p>\n

[Update]<\/strong> I just called the AMC Grapevine Mills theater to ascertain ticket availability. I was told that there are tickets for all screenings<\/strong> except for 7:00pm Friday. That screening was bought out by the local Republican Party. Every other screening has tickets available and the film is only scheduled to run for a week or two, depending on audience response. So even Reuters was incorrect. There is nothing remotely close to a sell out for this film, even in Texas which should be its best market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
