Palin’s new flick gets flack

As for who will be doing the promotion and spinning PR for the project, that would be CRC Public Relations, which describes itself as the film industry’s leading conservative publicity firm.

But CRC’s new gig could prove to be more political than promotional. Those close to the project have fueled rumors that the film is a springboard for a possible 2012 presidential run for Palin.

The film’s director, Steve Bannon, characterized the film Wednesday as “a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment,” adding, “Let’s have a good old-fashioned brouhaha.”
