Not only that, Meghan OHara a producer for Obama supporter Michael Moores films Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko and Bowling for Columbine was the one hired to gather that extra footage.
A report in the New York Times said the new footage serves to strengthen Mr. Obamas role and provide a window into decision-making in the White House, a move the report says will bolster claims that the 90-minute film amounts to a political stunt.
Indeed FrontPageMag.com called it an Obama Infomercial From Michael Moores Favorite Producer which they say is essentially about the man that sat on his ass while they (SEAL Team Six) risked their lives.
. . .
It's an apt metaphor for Hollywood that even the brave actions of SEAL Team Six get twisted into liberal themes and used to push a political message just before a close election. It's unfortunate but unsurprising that the issue of propaganda has taken the focus away from our amazing heroes, noted Dan Gainor, VP of Business and Culture for the Media Research Center. The timing of this film is absolutely ridiculous. For an Obama supporter to be releasing a prObama film just before the election is a blatant attempt to sway voters. And liberals wonder why conservatives complain about Hollywood.
Apparently they are unaware that National Geographic is also owned by News Corporation.
The channel is owned primarily by Fox Cable Networks, a division of News Corporation.

They both are appealing to their audiences because, in the end, its about the money.
