ABC is altering its upcoming miniseries "The Path to 9/11" in response to intense criticism from members of the Clinton administration that the two-part, made-for-TV film is filled with factual errors and lies, a network official reportedly said.
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 — said they 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.
The Washington Post reported Friday that an ABC executive, who requested anonymity because the network is making only written comments, said small revisions have been underway for weeks.
Wow...so now we have censorship and it's controlled by the Clintons?
I KNEW this would happen!Attention,ALL FREEPERS,BOYCOTT ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New York-based Scholastic said it will replace the yanked material with a new classroom discussion guide focusing "more specifically on media literacy, critical thinking, and historical background." Congressional Democrats have urged Disney's (DIS - commentary - Cramer's Take) ABC to cancel the miniseries, calling it "a work of fiction." ABC issued a statement saying the production was still being edited and that criticism of the film's specifics were thus "premature and irresponsible,"... |

Are you alluding to The First Amendment being circumcised?
THAT was frikking funny!
Chris was on Fox & Friends this morning too. He has some holdover anger at ABC because he said that ABC did a hit piece on his father, and the script had lines in it that he father never said...so he understands why people (Halfbright) would be upset about Path to 9/11. He was ranting so much about it that he barely got to who was going to be on his show this Sunday....which was the purpose for his appearance this morning on F&F.
Does this mean I can no longer watch The View, with Rosie O'Donnell? /extreme sarc.
Thank you!
The CNN documentary mentioned that in 1998 Clinton had Bin Laden "in the crosshairs," but decided against killing him.
I was surprised that CNN would dare implicate Clinton, but they did.
Did the CNN program air in the U.S.? (I saw it while "overseas.") I would be curious as to people's reaction to the CNN documentary as well.
Chris Wallace tried to compare this with the Reagan movie that got shuffled to Showtime.
If the Clintoons can't convince us that Terrorist attacks against The United States of America didn't begin until Jan.21st,2001,well...............???????????????????
"When this airs, it will prove that BUSH is behind 9-11 and that Clinton did EVERYTHING right!!"
Yeah, by the end of the second showing, it will still be all of Bush's fault.
That is correct, which makes this censorship, since the leadership of the senate majority sent a letter to ABC threatening to pull its license if it airs the movie without substantial whitewashing.
Why "especially schoolchildren?"
Why am I asking that? I already know the answer.
It did, I watched it and I was as surprised as you that CNN did it.
He's just rubbing our noses in it! I'd say more about Reid but I don't want to be banned!
