The press has been covering for Hollywood for years. It’s time for Hollywood to return the favor. They’ll attempt to do so just before Christmas when The Post is released to select theaters before going to a wide release January 12.
The release dates alone should tell us all something. This is important for Hollywood and it’s even more important to the press. They’ve been hit hard since the 2016 election. Calls of “fake news” have become a daily affair for everyone from pundits to the President. The Washington Post, a left-leaning paragon of mainstream media, is going to be glorified as the truth-tellers they wish they truly were in Steven Spielberg’s answer to the Trump administration.
That’s what this is. Of that, there should be little doubt. That’s why they’ve done the split release dates. They needed it to go out in time for Oscar consideration in 2018 (just before midterms) but they didn’t want to get hampered by soft holiday crowds that will still be lining up for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and other Christmastime movies, so they limit the theaters to keep them as full as possible. Once it’s met with extreme critical praise (and liberal critics will make it seem like the greatest flick ever), it’ll be poised for wide release three weeks later. Everything is perfect planned. It’s the ideal vehicle to try to get as many people trusting of the press as paragons of truth while distrustful of the government.
All of the elements are there. Spielberg. Meryl Streep and Tom Hands, who have five Oscars between them, will give the performances of their lifetime. The release dates. The massive marketing money they’ll put into it. This is Hollywood’s big political statement before the midterm elections. My prediction: It’ll still bomb even after it wins Best Picture.

Trailer For Spielberg’s Leftist Propaganda Film ‘The Post’ Has Arrived. It Looks Abysmal.
As the trailer shows, Spielberg’s film, starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, will tackle a variety of leftist causes, from feminism to the Vietnam war to the absurd notion that mainstream journalists are objective crusaders of truth.
Hoping to supplant All The Presidents Men as the standard for heroic journalists movies, The Post tells the story of The Washington Post’s Kay Graham (Meryl Streep), America’s first female publisher, and Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks), and their hard-fought quest to publish the Pentagon Papers that detailed the United States’ covert activities during the Vietnam conflict going all the way back to the Eisenhower administration.
