In a conversation with podcaster Joe Rogan, Quaid expressed that the platform has engaged in censorship by banning advertisements and many related podcasts. He questioned whether the film&#8217;s positive portrayal of former President Ronald Reagan was the reason behind this action. Rogan noted that Facebook claimed the content was seen as an &#8220;attempt to sway an election,&#8221; to which Quaid pointed out that Reagan hasn&#8217;t been on a ballot in 40 years. When Rogan asked if a favorable movie about Obama would have similar implications, Quaid referenced an Obama film released during the 2020 election year and suggested it was unfairly targeted as well. Eric McClellan, who oversees digital marketing for Reagan, attempted to promote an ad but found he could only publish it without paying for wider distribution. Facebook temporarily suspended the film&#8217;s account after posting clips featuring Quaid as Reagan but later called it &#8220;a mistake.&#8221; The platform explained that their automated systems incorrectly flagged content about President Reagan as needing prior approval under their policies regarding social issues and elections. Quaid relayed this information to Rogan, who remarked on how convenient such errors can be. The biopic is scheduled for theatrical release on August 30 and features actors like Penelope Ann Miller and Jon Voight alongside Quaid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2678,"featured_media":2328691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AP-Dennis-Quaid-Reagan-premiere.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38868,38867,4573,38603],"class_list":["post-2328690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-ad-ban","tag-dennis-quaid","tag-facebook","tag-reagan-movie"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AP-Dennis-Quaid-Reagan-premiere.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2678"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2328690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2328690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2328691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2328690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2328690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2328690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
