Just wanted to jump online real quick to relay this in case anyone else is interested:

After hearing the news of this at lunchtime today, I called NatGeo's toll free number to tell them what a mistake I thought it was to sully their reputation with this so few days before the election.

After being passed around to several people, I finally got hold of a manager there who was equally dismayed about this looking so overtly political on their part.

She promised to send the complaint up the chain and did one better. She gave me an email address to pass to anyone else that wanted to register their concern with Corporate.

Email is NGSFORUM@NGS.COM

She encouraged me to pass it around, LOL.

NatGeo has sold it's integrity a long time ago. It's all about money and politics. Now we know for certain which way their leadership swings, far left.

Good point, Team Sergeant. I've only been a consumer of their magazines, and none of their other products, and it's been years since I've even read those publications. It doesn't surprise me they swung left awhile ago.

Just my two cents:



This is gonna be a riot...as in funny HA HA!

http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...ama-bin-laden/


When the rumored whereabouts of Osama bin Laden are revealed, the CIA readies a team of seasoned U.S. Navy SEALs for the mission of a lifetime. Despite inconclusive evidence that bin Laden is inside the compound, and ignoring the possible ramifications of an unannounced attack on Pakistani soil, the Pentagon orders the attack. The SEAL Team bands together to complete their mission of justice in a riveting final showdown.

From Academy Award®-winning producer of THE HURT LOCKER Nicolas Chartier, The Weinstein Company, and John Stockwell, the director of INTO THE BLUE and CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL, the feature-length film based on true events stars Cam Gigandet, Anson Mount, Freddy Rodriguez, Xzibit, Kathleen Robertson, Eddie Kay Thomas and Kenneth Miller.

At the tail of a day full of (or into) NFL football. That should get them the audience they want.
Different demographic I suppose.

If they get another 4-years of spin, and you liked this one, you won't want to miss "Bailout in Benghazi"...

Thanks for that. The FOXPAC contributions to primarily Dem candidates in CA and points near during 2011 was slightly illuminating.

Just watched a few minutes of this drivel: pure, unadulterated faggetry. Especially considering the egregious pandering to the present CoC. Instead, I'm going to do push ups and clean my 1911 . . . .

I watched the first hour while on a flight, missed the ending.

Don't think I missed anything. What a pathetic movie, much like this administration.

I can go home and delete the DVR.
