The length to which ABC, its news division, and its parent company (Disney) have gone to protect and curry favor with the Clintons is almost impossible to grasp. To begin with, in 1996, ABC News hired George Stephanopoulos, a former Clinton campaign and White House official. Within a few years he would become the ABC new division’s chief anchor and political reporter.
Then, just today, we learn that ABC News and Stephanopoulos are involved in a massive conflict of interest — a $50,000 donation Stephanopoulos made to the Clinton Foundation.
That’s right, the symbol of ABC News has an ongoing relationship (involving large sums of money) with Bill and Hillary Clinton, a relationship that he and ABC News attempted to cover up from viewers.
All of that, however, is just a small part of an incestuous and corrupted relationship that has gone on for more than a decade.
Back in September of 2006, for the fifth anniversary of 9/11, Touchstone Television (a division of ABC) produced a two-part miniseries that looked, in great detail, at the events that led up to that tragic September morning.
The 240 minute series was meticulously researched by award-winning screenwriter Cyrus Nowrasteh (who has worked on similar historical dramass with the likes of Oliver Stone) and focused, in part, on what the Clinton administration did right and wrong in their attempt to capture or kill 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden.
Nevertheless, once the Clintons got wind that a network miniseries might commit the sin of accurately dramatizing some of their mistakes, all hell broke loose. The Clintons complained publicly and privately to their Disney/ABC pals.

Rather than risk upsetting the Clintons, Disney/ABC instead chose to cave to government threats and lose tens of millions of dollars in the revenue that almost certainly would have...

Nothing will happen. There is one rule for normal people and another for the liberal ruling elite.
Yep, they did.
It is telling that this mini series was never rerun by ABC, was never released to home video, and was never allowed to be broadcast by any other TV channel or cable movie channel.
If anyone recorded the mini series when broadcast , they might might some good money on the black market for copies of same.
I saw it. The photography was outstanding, and the story most interesting, of course.

Anyone think ABC would hire Dick Cheney as an 'objective journalist'?
And we’re supposed to believe that he is that interested in fighting malaria or AIDS or improving the water system or farming in African countries... How dense do they think we are?
Just because dems are stupid enough to vote for these crooks doesn’t mean we’re all stupid! When are people going to wake up to this shakedown?
If I want to give to a cause, I make a donation direct to that cause!!!! Don’t need to go through “no stinkin’ foundation.”
Mmmm
Mmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmmm
Bretbart is beginning to dig.
Then why don't got just go throw yourself of a cliff? What possible value is a statement like that on Free Republic? Go back to DU and proclaim your supposed victory to your fellow travelers. But stuff your FUD - this place is dedicated to fighting back, worm.
Nowrasteh lives in southern Calif.
If memory serves me right, believe I saw him speak at the Reagan Library some years ago.
I got this a couple years ago...
how could it be rare if the guy is still selling it?
There was another that came out, same film, better packaging... I got that one also.
I remember trying to watch that show. I gave up after ten minutes. Nothing happened but meetings. The camera was hand-held, and constantly panning, and pointed at the actors’ thighs and crotches. Faces were never shown, that I can recall. It was impossible to tell who was speaking.
