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.

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 know...I probably wouldn't have watched it regardless. I figured...it's ABC/Disney/ESPN -- how accurate and unbiased would it be anyway?

Can you tell us more specifically who said "BIG CUTS" are being made? It's very important we get our facts straight.

All of this was discussed last night..It doesn't seem that anything MORE has been added since then. Or cut, I should say.

****

I've heard it said that the liberal Dems always generate exactly the opposite of what they preach. This is a good example.

It's not a chill, it's a blizzard and the snow is way high.

I don't think its "snow" that's being shoveled our way, if you catch my drift.

Yep -- you can force sexual immorality, blasphemy, and curse words upon us in the name of "art," but the truth? No way.

Free speech for them, not us.

Where's all this talk about "viewer education, not censorship" and "use the remote?" Oh yeah, it's about them.

The DVD sales are gonna go through the roof.

That is unless, the Xlinton regime gets to em again. Death threats, unexplained suicides, mysterious plane crashes, can all cause people to cave.
