Due to the apparent lack of anything else that’s newsworthy, Fox Nation is reporting this bit of breaking news:<\/p>\n

\"Fox<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

The glorified delinquents that run Fox Nation veritably drool at any opportunity to disparage President Obama and his Hollywood pals. They are also giddy about slamming allegedly liberal comedians whenever possible (note that Jon Stewart is a frequent critic of the President and Democrats, and Fox knows it<\/a>). But this item sourced to the ultra-conservative Washington Free Beacon is a perfect illustration of just how deranged these hacks are by their Obama hatred. The article begins…<\/p>\n

“Gigi Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt fortune, will finance and produce Stewart\u2019s directorial debut, Rosewater. The film is based on the true story of a former Iranian political prisoner arrested after appearing on ‘The Daily Show.\u201d'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So F**king What?<\/h4>\n

Sure, Pritzker is financing and producing Stewart’s film. Perhaps it’s because she runs a production company, Odd Lot Entertainment, and was fortunate enough to snag this project that many producers in the business would covet. And as obsessed right-wingers like to remind everyone, there is an abundance of Obama supporters in Hollywood. It might be difficult to find a film producer that had not donated to Obama.<\/p>\n

Do the cretins at Fox think that Stewart would have associated himself with Republican producer for his first directorial effort?<\/p>\n

Oops. Wait a minute…..It seems that Stewart has, in fact, associated himself with a Republican producer. In 2012 Pritzker, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, contributed the maximum allowed donation – to Mitt Romney!<\/a> So Fox could just as well have posted the headline “Romney Donor Funds Jon Stewart Movie.”<\/em> I wonder why they didn’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
