Right-wing media bias rears its ugly head--LOL! Boyoboy, the left doesn't like it at ALL when they don't get to control every single bit of the MSM on EVERY topic. This is rich...

I heard a littlle bit of Rush going on about this yesterday, so I knew the libs would go crazy. Excellent!

And, the timing right before elections is great.

Sandy Burglar, x42, Madeline Halfbright, call yer office...HAHAHA!

I'll believe it when I see it.

It will be heavily edited or censored.

On Tuesday, several liberal blogs were questioning whether ABC’s version was overly critical of the Clinton administration while letting the Bush administration off easy.

Considering GWB was president for only 9 months before 9/11, I guess that leaves Bubba "guilty as charged".

You can tell when the truth about the left comes out....they scream VERY loud....

[freeangel]

Let's see--8 yrs/8months, 8yrs/8months. I wonder who should carry the brunt of responsibility on this one?

[beyond the sea]

ditto...... here's betting there will be very last minute changes or exclusions.

And the creeps come crawling out of the woodwork.

I have no doubt that wgat Burlar carried out of the National Archives was a dirty paper trail.

We all knew this was coming. The MSM cannot will not allow damn facts to get in the way of their template.

9/11 Miniseries Is Criticized as Inaccurate and Biased

The NYT is scared of the truth getting out.

8 months vs 8 years...so true....although the Bush administration hit the ground running...they actually did hit a wall...the Gorelick Wall...begun under clinton...which was one of the most preventative measures not to be able to access what would transpire within the next 8 months....the lib/dems always seem to forget that pesky little fact...and of course with th a--holes on the 9/11 comissions (she being one)...it was hardly given a thought!!!

It will be heavily edited or censored.

My understanding is, ABC has no plans to edit the finished product, and in fact, they plan on showing the entire 5 hour series commercial free.

[BamaAndy]

I'm to understand the New York Times is writing about bias? Umm. I'll think about that. Ummm. No, it doesn't compute.

[mainepatsfan]

What's scaring them is that many Americans who don't follow politics closely will watch this and they'll be unable to dissuade them after the fact.

[mainepatsfan]

I'm sure they'll have an editorial about this titled "Accurate but fake."

[BigSkyFreeper]

I have no doubt that wgat Burlar carried out of the National Archives was a dirty paper trail.

What I find laughable is Richard Ben-Veniste, the harshest critic of this film, was on the same 9/11 Commission that this movie is based off of.

[mainepatsfan]

He was counting on the DBM to keep little "facts" about the Clinton adminstration's failures quiet. He never expected a movie to be made about them.

[GOPJ]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah, it's hard to trust the MSM until you see the whites of their eyes...

[BluH2o]

Madeline Halfbright, call yer office...HAHAHA!

Madeline Halfbright? Really, you're giving her way to much credit.

[BigSkyFreeper]

He was counting on the suits at ABC/Disney to chop up a film made by an independent film director. The director has no agenda, Ben-Veniste does.

In fact, Rush said he's seen the film, and Bush doesn't get off so easily in this movie either, and went on to say that this is probably the most accurate film about the portrayal of the government's behavior a person is ever going to see leading up to 9/11.

[Pharmboy]

Indeed...she has that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance. ("What?? My family were Jews?? Who knew!!") And, she's a phony, too...
