ABC Altering 9/11 Film After Clinton Officials Express Outrage

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.

Excerpt

[LikeLight]

Rush said he never received a copy of the tape, He saw it live...

No, he was invited to an advanced screening, but he also said he had a DVD or something that he watched 5 hours straight through...

[wai-ming]

Someone needs to connect the dots.

The word is already out about Clinton's inaction and failure to capture Bin Laden.

What does ABC have to be afraid of?

[jennyjenny]

Kerry used this same threat during the 2004 campaign. He may have been successful in Sinclair caving on Stolen Honor, but he lost the election. Dems never learn, bless their hearts.

[alnick]

Oops, I meant to say senate MINORITY.

[cvq3842]

Awful. Just awful.

[The Great RJ]

These are the same people who called Fahrenheit 911 a fountain of truth despite ample proof that the events depicted there were fabrications, propaganda and outright lies.

Hypocrites

[Txsleuth]

CNN has shown that documentary about 6 times already...and they are showing it again on Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend..

[steveegg]

Sounds like this was all a bunch of hype to get the news channels talking about it.

Most likely, yes. I can't see the Clintons being this vocal against it if it was not something they wanted people to see.

Ya think? That comes straight out of the S(l)ick Willie Playbook for Deflecting Bad News.

[Crawdad]

The silence from Bill Frist is deafening.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Thank god Monday night football has moved.

Now I don't have to watch ABC anymore.

[eeevil conservative]

PERFECT!

and the Clinton Corruption continues.....

The Clintons bring out thoughts and feelings in me that go against everything I hold dear to my heart.......

and I HATE them for it...

ONE DAY!

ONE DAY! they MUST BE EXPOSED AND STOPPED!

[truthluva]

I beg to differ. I prefer to cut right to the chase. Threatening to "review" their license unless they do as they are told is censorship, IMHO.

[Sooth2222]

Do you think more people will see the disputed scenes if they're left in the movie, or see them if they're cut out and played over and over again on the news networks?

[LibLieSlayer]

Rush attended a screening with several hundred people. ALL were given a copy, as per Rush.

LLS

[Mike Darancette]

Then the debate will become, "what was cut and why did the cut it". This is much worse for the Democrats because it makes them prove that they were anti-terror then and now.

Rove you magnificent bastard!

[LibLieSlayer]

Everyone at the screening got a DVD copy. Rush stated this.

LLS

[P-40]

Ya think? That comes straight out of the S(l)ick Willie Playbook for Deflecting Bad News.

I think Paris Hilton really threw him a curve though. Her getting arrested put the networks in a difficult spot: help Clinton or run with what would normally be the only story of the week.

[jennyjenny]

I agree with you. The story is about them, now. Perfect!

[STARWISE]

Could we see the link to that headline?

Liberals can only measure success by the amount spent, not the actual result. This list proves it.
