ABC Altering 9/11 Film After Clinton Officials Express Outrage

Fox News ^ | 9/8/06

[pabianice]

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.

thanx, netmilsmom. :)
will do.

It's not 'naive' to pray for Bill Clinton. It's being obedient to God in what is a very difficult task.........to pray for a sinner to come to repentence.......a sinner reviled and repulsive because of the evil he has done.

It's not that they are unaware of the evil. It's just that obedience to God supercedes personal feelings against the man.

I hope you'll note that I am putting this in the third person, because I find it difficult to impossible to do this........and I consider that to be my own weakness as a Christian.

[ohioWfan]

So once again, you excuse and are not appalled by evil because you 'expect' it, but you are furious with weakness because you don't expect it...........or do you?

Bottom line.......and end of the discussion for me because you have made your opinion nauseatingly clear.......is that you are more offended by Republican weakness than you are by Democrat Stalinism, and personally as a conservative on a conservative forum, I find your position horrifying.

[uncbob]

When I see that ABC is buckling under Clinton pressure, I don't blame Republicans.

GOP did their job you wouldn't need ABC to bring the Clinton's and Sandy Berger to justice

I guess you expect the GOP MAJORITY to speak out against the MINORITY in the senate threatening ABC and using the senate to undermine free speech
Don't hold your breath

[uncbob]

Ya don't think they deserve it

If their feet were held to the fire maybe they would be forced to grow a pair

Pardo me if I expect those I vote for and donate $$$ to to act
like they had a spine

[Quix]

For sure. Though considering all his treason . . .

that might be the wrong appendage.

I still think he and she ought to be tried, convicted and keel hauled under the USS RONALD REAGAN.

[uncbob]

You think prayer is going to help the Clinton's I have a bridge I can sell you

[ohioWfan]

Last time.....I'm more angry at Stalinists than I am at wimps.

You've made it clear that your anger is directed at the weak Republicans in spite of Democrat evil.

You really don't have to beat your point into the ground here..........we all get it.

[betsyross1776]

I would rather have this choir then any other.I have been in this game a long time nothing beats talking to ordinary people. With this one, people will talk,that is why they call it talking points.With all our help the word will get out!

[little jeremiah]

Just checking back on FR; unfortunately I have zero to little time right now. What's your take on this:

ABC ignores Democrats, won't pull The Path to 9-11docudrama [Is this the last word?]

[ohioWfan]

It's not what I think, bob. It's what God's word says.

He's the One your quarrel is with, not me.

If you don't think it's difficult to pray for someone you have to struggle not to hate because of the evil he's done, you have no understanding of Christian conservatives at all.

But you've made that pretty clear here too.....

[cartoonistx]

[uncbob]

Expecting the democrats to be any different than they are
is a waste of energy

Expecting the people you vote for and donate $$$$ to act responsibly makes more sense or maybe by this time it doesn't

Call me when the GOP takes a stand on this issue

BTW

I think the program should be pulled

I am against any DOCUDRAMA where fictional conversations are made up no matter what side of the political spectrum

There is plenty of documented facts and evidence available that could have been used for a REAL DOCUMENTARY ( Patterson's Book comes to mind ) and couldn't be refuted by the Clintonistas

[betsyross1776]

Don't let this get you down. Rally monkey time! This issue is your issue to win this up coming election. How , you may ask? Easy the democrats want to censor all items about then , but the reps let Michael Moore and george Soros spum their lies all day. Look to me the reps want free speech even if it hurts their own [party,but God forbid don't damage the same guy who said oral sex is not sex and taught the method to 1st graders. Come on this is all our chances to turn this right around and spin the election in the demos faces. let them bring out pissy chrissy,and clinton news network we can handle that. Bring up Spike Lee and his document on the levees . We have so much to work with I see this election turning right around. Start with one question , what is clinton so afraid of , what is he hiding now? This rally point brought to you by Betsy Ross, fly the flag on 911 please!

[ohioWfan]

You've made your point. I will NEVER agree.

Evil is never acceptable, whether it is 'expected' or not.

Thaw out your conscience. You're excusing thuggery and pure evil just because it doesn't surprise you.

And that to me, is.......I repeat........HORRIFYING.

[top 2 toe red]

I think it's stupid/spineless to beat someone into the ground, calling them stupid/spineless 24/7 and then not expect them to act stupid/spineless. Evidently that's the method to your maddness...and then you get to say, "see, see, see, they're stupid/spineless!"


Yes, Mr.$$$, I guess you're just finding more than one way to get your bang for the bucks, huh?

[hoosiermama]

You forgot: He will announce that we captured and identified the remains ofall of Al Qaida hiding in the hills of Pakistan, including the remains of UBL.

Hi Leni,

IMO We won't hear the "actual" response to the Rats letter until after it is aired. Have been wondering if the tweaking that is being done is actually to the Rats' advantage. ABC put on a disclaimer that it's fictional and then "tweaks it to make them look even worse.

[hoosiermama]

Is Chris Wallace fishing for a new job?
