[history]
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.

AP story that Bush has requested time from the networks on Monday night for 16-18 minute address to the nation.
Wouldn't this cut into the mini-series?

I'd like to know details of the alleged "inaccuracies" in ABC's alleged documentary. IIRC, Berger was worried about the legality of going after Binny. So how is the allegedly (trying to write like a reporter) inaccurate scene allegedly innacurate?

RE: Big Cuts
WHether they cut it or not. The general population (if we keep it in the news) will now assume that Hill/Billy got their way and that damning material was removed. Anyway you look at it it's lose/lose for the Rats.

That's what I was thinking, too. But this is being done by government (and former) officials. It's a tricky path, indeed.
I'll stick with the, "Business decision," claim -for now.

How does one go about doing that?

Just another example of a liberal MSM unwilling to tell the truth. Pathetic!!

"I would call for a boycott of ABC ...but I haven't watched ABC for YEARS!"I'm confused. I watched Matt Lauer interviewing Ted Kopple this morning, and it sounds like Ted approved the sanitized version, which is to be aired on the Discovery Channel, not on ABC...'course, since Ted is the new managing editory of Discovery, their isn't much difference...
