Oh, that is JUST perfect! Thank you so much.

[SE Mom]

It is a blatant, open, threat to ABC.

Even the most cynical among us (I count myself as one) must find this truly stunning.

This- is America.

[mass55th]

Nevermind Farenheit 11, what about the CBS/Rather debacle of false letters? They want to talk about "flawed and factually inaccurate misinformation to the American public? Not to mention the timing of the story surrounding these documents? I didn't hear any Dems speak out against that crime at the time. These people are pathetic.

Imagine if Bush tried anything like this? The WH press corps would beat Tony Snow to death.

"The people at ABC and Disney didn't just have an epiphany and decide to go more to the right. This could very well be an attempt to shoot down Hitlery's chances in '08"

Al Gore?

This is great

Clinton and Company Angry Over ABC's 9/11 Movie

Thursday , September 07, 2006

By John Gibson


President Clinton and a phalanx of Clintonistas from the old days have rolled out of the barracks and are putting up a fierce fight over a movie.

The complaint from the Clinton troops is that the movie "The Path to 9/11," which ABC will air this weekend, contains scenes that did not happen. Particularly, they complain about a scene in which CIA agents and Afghanis have bin Laden cornered and a character modeled after former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger won't give permission to capture or kill him........

ABC may become the Joe Liebermann of the MSM networks.

[prairiebreeze]

..... The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest.

President Bush must be laughing his head off at that one.

QUESTION: Is this being presented as a movie or a documentary? Anybody know, hubby is asking, thanks.

So they don't want it censored, they want it flat out cancelled?

[polymuser]

Nothing new here, apparently...

Actually, it is worth posting it at the top of the FR homepage, until the election!!

I, too, amd not all that happy that more has not been done for the conservative cause, but I SHUDDER to imagine how bad things would get, in probably 2-3 years, if the DUmmies win and take over!!

AS I have talked about here, and to many others in the past, it would not be too long, before the "man comes to our houses, with a clipboard in his hand, surrounded by stormtroopers, saying "we are here to see if you are in compliance with the new rules of society. Step aside, or be taken to our "retraining camps".

I know, McGavin. This was one of the more stupid blunders they've made and they've made more than a few of them. They're acting just like the Mob.

[Liberty Valance]

The above letter is more damning to the democrat party than their attrocious lack of action leading up to 9-11. I've never seen them be so defensive about anything else.

My prognosis:

If you're recieving flak....you're over the target!

We have definitely hit a major nerve. Keep digging.

[shield]

OK...THEY JUST ADVERTISED 'THE PATH TO 911'...YES!!!

[mainepatsfan]

They should have found plenty of oil considering how low they've gone.

[hoosiermama]

Thanks. Wanted to keep it in that form on FR.

... understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee ...

If only these censorious, inchoate miscreants would have impressed upon the puerile, illiterate retards they have hired as letter-writing flunkies, the importance of proper usage of the English language...

It's Disney's "principal obligation" you arrogant degenerate thugs!

Clintonista's are in full attack mode over this:

9/11 TV Film Sparks Clinton Administration Outrage
Thursday, September 07, 2006


ABC's upcoming miniseries "The Path to 9/11" is generating a firestorm among members of the Clinton administration, who claim the two-part, made-for-TV film is filled with factual errors and lies.

Three members of the administration — former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, former National Security Adviser Samuel R. Berger and Clinton aide Bruce Lindsey, who now heads the Clinton Foundation — have sent letters to Walt Disney Company, parent of ABC, demanding that it re-edit or pull the five-hour film, scheduled for air Sunday and Monday nights without commercial interruption.
