“There has been some noise about the film … Much of it has come from several Palin aides trying to discredit it even though they haven’t yet seen it. In a letter to news editors that accompanied “Game Change” screeners, HBO’s Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications, Quentin Schaffer, writes: McCain said they would not watch it (Palin said it was based on a “false narrative”) and his daughter, Meghan, has routinely lampooned both the book and the movie on her Twitter page.īut HBO is strongly defending both the film and its portrayals.
