Sony pulls the plug on "The Interview"

[Nomad]

Yup. I would at least rather have Bush who didnt take it up the rear end. At least he had the balls to do what needed to be done. Yes he was pretty brain dead most of the time but he didnt take any threats to his country


I am pretty sure the Obama admin has some say in this.
But this is a sign of things to come.
USA bowing to anyone that threatens them.
Absolutely pathetic.
Next stop Iran, Hamas, ISIS

On Friday US President Barack Obama criticised the cancellation, saying he wished Sony executives had spoken to him before cancelling the release.

"We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship," he said, vowing to "respond" to the cyber-attack in a "manner that we choose".

Responding to the US president's comments, Sony Pictures chief executive and chairman Michael Lynton said the studio had not made an error in cancelling the release.

"We have not given in, we have persevered," he told CNN.

A corporate Japanese company pulls a movie, Marine1 finds a way to blame Obama and liberals. Lol.

Sony Pictures Entertainment is just a subsidiary of Sony, it's very much American. HQ in California, CEO is a US citizen.

I read that and he is not telling the whole story. The Sony CEO said he was involved in discussions from the start

Thanks for the link did you get that in your liberal conservative hating propaganda sites?
Obviously I cant prove it FFS Do you think I was sitting in the WH when this whole thing happened?
Sony admitted Obama knew about this from the start so he obviously knew they were going to be pulled but he only speaks now saying they should have come to him first???? Really? Not surprising the majority believe him. The majority think he is the messiah

No, I am posting articles from your preferred outlets so that you don't waste time blaming the liberal media....as I am getting impatient waiting for that left ball of yours.

Here, have a sqizz at where i checked....you can pick multiple articles from multiple sources : https://news.google.com/news/i/stor...4DgZJVVT0UtM&q=the+interview&lr=English&hl=en

Lol, of course you know the whole story. Duh duh duuuuh.

All the report on the interview says is that the ceo is unhappy with Obama's criticism nothing about him being involved. Why the hell would Obama be involved in movie editing decisions anyway?

This does not fall in line with marine1`s fantasy stories, but I think the rest of you might appreciate this.

Sony CEO Strikes Back After Obama Slams Studio For Giving Into North Korea's Threats

 

[Packer]

They're not embracing the terrorists, they're just wussies. ...North Korea couldn't hack an abacus.

Correct.

 

[Packer]

Sounds like you are describing South Africa rather than the U.S. to be honest...

Yes.

lol, thats actually funny

 

[Packer]

What? He's an excellent warmonger. Which is the main reason I don't like him. He kept the wars going that Dubya started plus started a few new ones. Sent in more drones to kill brown people than anyone before him. Cracked down on this pesky "privacy" thing more than any Republican could ever dream of. He basically created ISIS. If he just pulled back the damn troops like he promised and left well enough alone, the world wouldn't have to deal with this ****.

He didn’t have much choice. America were getting their butt kicked an Afghanistan and Iraq. The suicide bombing tactics had check-mated them. Then they went the drone route and solved their quandary. Unfortunately, they set a precedent which other countries are following. The new style of warfare includes drones. Families and innocent bystanders lose.

I was really looking forward to this movie.

Like anybody will (erm...should) take anything seriously from a site called Obama Lies :/

I cannot understand why people troll these drivel pages. It like this maroela media BS pages that just feature white genocide and the worst case scenarios of nuclear power in ZA.

Who reads that crap?

If you want reporting go to cnn or times live or news 24.

There is a reason the news does not report rubbish like that. Because its rubbish.

CNN? Really? The ones that post fake altered images that terrorist organisations like Hamas use? Riiight

Obamalies really. That focuses purely on discrediting one person. Wonders who pays their salaries. Riiight.

Well he is the president of the US so one would expect many sites dedicated to one person
If you go through his list of "lies" either they are true or false, easy to decide for yourself.
I am sure there is a site Obamatruths

It really is not up to anyone to decide for themselves. For an accusation you need tangible evidence to believe it. Thats why a commision would be set up and he would be investigated and be found guilty or not guilty of whatever at the end of it.

Then what happens after that will be politically out of the peoples hands.

Much like Zuma, Madonsela and the Nkandla investigation. He was found guilty, but nobody did anything about it.

You probably shouldn't be getting your news from sites that are on the extreme right or left of an issue. Any site called Obama Truths is probably just as untrustworthy as a site called Obama lies.
