Hollywood's Heroic Comey Story Collapses
2020-05-09
Schadenfreude Alert - I expect they'll "Stop production for Coronavirus" and never resume, if they have ANY sense
[MRC] If the "first draft of history" in the news media sounds dubious, the "second draft" made by Hollywood is almost certainly going to be worse. I'm not talking about documentaries, which can be judged as journalism. I'm talking about movies and TV shows, which will inevitably be pressed to dramatize things so it is ever more loosely "based on real events."

CBS has been preparing a miniseries based on ex-FBI director James Comey's memoir, pompously titled A Higher Loyalty. In it, he lectured "Ethical leaders choose a higher loyalty to those core values over their own personal gain." But the personal gain was sweet for Comey.

#3  Agree with JohnQC though I would add Narcissistic as a descriptor to traitorous..."Narcissistic Traitorous James Comey"

A quick google search reveals that ole Jim meets all nine of the:

9 official criteria for NPD
1. grandiose sense of self-importance
2. preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance
3. belief they’re special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions
4. need for excessive admiration
5. sense of entitlement
6. inter-personally exploitative behavior
7. lack of empathy
8. envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them
9. demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes

#2  How about a Hollywood story based on "Traitor Comey?"

Or they could do the usual liberal thing and delete the parts that go against their narrative and invent history to justify the story.
