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.

He thinks ABC will pull the show

They should

They should have done a STRICT DOUCUMENTARY where nothing could be challenged --Soon as you go into fictional dialog --no matter what it is based on you are open for problems

Clinton's ain't going down until the GOP grows a pair and is willing to fight it out

The REAL truth will never be told as long as the Clintons own the MSM, including FOX. I hope Rush is prepared to live at least another 50 years because I'm still a yut.

'The Path to 9/11'
CLINTON FAILURE TO ORDER 'PURE KILL' CUT CHANCES OF GETTING BIN LADEN IN HALF
bump


What we must do:
  1. Boycott ABC, Disney, et al. AND their sponsors. FOREVER.

  2. Get a copy of the original, uncut version, compare it with the broadcast version AND FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENCES.
    THOSE DIFFERENCES WILL PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE CLINTONS' CRIMES, SEDITIONS, SELF-SERVING ACTS AND STUPIDITIES.
    USING THIS NEWLY GLEANED INFO, DIG DEEPER.

  3. Broadcast and exploit NONSTOP this new information along with the clintons known terrorism failures and other failures, crimes, seditions, self-serving acts and stupidities.
    THIS NEW INFORMATION WILL BE ESPECIALLY USEFUL IF THE CLINTONS TRY TO RETAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN '08.

I put pressure on my GOP Senators BIG time.

But I'm not like you. I'm not angrier at wimpy Republicans than I am at the perpetrators of this evil.

When I read the letter from Harry Reid to Disney, I didn't condemn the Republicans. When I see that ABC is buckling under Clinton pressure, I don't blame Republicans.

That's where we're different, bob. I see things realistically, and not through the veil of anger at everyone and everything who doesn't do just what I want.

"How badly butchered is the question."

It likely will get butchered somewhat, but the rest of it will trickle out over the Internet for months!

It will be worse for the RATS because it will stay in the news until the elections.

The RATS will gain nothing by trying to suppress it now, they will just drag it out longer.

Conservative news outlets have reason to be more than a little nervous about this development. For that matter, the Washington Post shouldn't be feeling too comfortable either.

Last week their editors wrote an editorial quite damning of Joe Wilson and the Rats in Congress can't be pleased about that. Maybe WaPo is next.

Now that the Rats are feeling a little power, I wonder who they'll target next?

"They never intended in pinpointing Clinton. Just getting people on the right to view it. This is a two night deal, so they will leave a cliff hanger. Probably making everyone think on the first night that it's all Clintons fault. Then do the old bait and switch. On the second night it will become all Bush's fault."

Agreed.

Yeah, probably the first half has huge gaping holes cut out of it. Then the second part opens with a voice over saying the whole first part [Clinton years] was merely a Karl Rove dream sequence.

Wouldn't you like to see a documentary on the behind-the-scenes, late night phone calls and "discussions" in the board rooms of ABC/Disney? THAT would make for some intriguing viewing. Just who put the pressure on- when and how...and what was the final reason for changes...what changes..etc

>>IMHO after Rush's Drug Bust and last divorce his capability to get NEW listeners was dimished greatly so he ain't making many converts these days<<

I note the IMHO of your post.
