Is ABC straying from the Democrat plantation?

[bouchard3333]

Is abc's turnabout a lasting sign? Remember when IGER took over Disney? everybody was saying he was a republican or at least not a die hard liberal like the guy he replaced (isner).

despite the small edits, do you think abc is actually trying to leave the (democrat media party) plantation?

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I am struck by two things from last nights broadcast.

The Clinton administration (as a whole) came off looking terrible. Much worse than I anticipated. Veiwers got a real and tangible insight into the mind of the terrorists and into the "strategem" of American leaders. This has got to impact the thinking of voters in Novemeber.

I must have missed something. I can't beleive ABC ran it commercial-free. What is up with that? They almost look magnaminous.

[beyond the sea]

I thought Iger was the guy with the funny walk in "Young Frankenstein."

LOL.

He indeed might have a funny walk after the Clintonistas get through with him.

The revolution has started. It is not yet detectably violent. It is too early to know how far it will go and what forms it will take.

[SauronOfMordor]

Why do they say Iger is a Republican?

To Hollywood, anybody who isn't hard-Left is right-wing

I really like Cicero's quote. With all the al quaeda oil money we probably have a lot of paid traitors.

[beyond the sea]

With all the al quaeda oil money we probably have a lot of paid traitors.

Yes indeed. And there are a lot of traitors even without that particular money.

I'm going to withhold my assessment of the program until after tonight's episode.
I'll bet the Bush Admin. is raked over the coals tonight.

IMHO Sandy Berger is the 'heavy' so far. Of course he is relating orders or lack of them from his 'boss'.
Reason for stuffing confidential docs down his pants?

[Mr. Thorne]

I got one impression after watching a snippet of it last night (my mind was not on TV at the time; I only remembered it because I 'surfed' to the low end of the channel pool at one point, and saw that it was on).

I saw the actress playing Albright explain how State had warned Pakistan before a covert op had taken place, knowing that Pakistan's Secret Service was riddled w/AQ operatives and sympathizers. I saw 'Berger' and 'Albright' tell 'Tenet' to "just do your job", and saw him reply that he was trying to do so.

Just now, watching F&F, they had a member of the supposedly non-partisan 9-11 commission on for commentary regarding the first half of the presentation. Rohmer(sp?), a Democrat, recited the boilerplate about how ABC should've stuck to the facts, yada yada yada. Then Doocy (I believe) asked about the scene I saw last night (Albright warns Pakistan). Rohmer went off on another 'why weren't the facts good enough' tangent, but NEVER answered the question: did SOS Albright, in fact, blow a covert op aimed at Bin Laden by warning her Pakistani counterparts.

All that was required of Rohmer was a simple "No, that's definitely false" or something similar. That he did not, or could not, answer this simple question regarding what I, personally, would consider a major question of priorities (are you more concerned with our operatives and their mission or keeping your international friends happy), says to me that this particular incident, at least, is true to life, or nearly so.

IMHO, of course.

If there is a docu-drama about the docu-drama, just remember, that Blow-Job Bill absolutely did not have sex with that woman. Really.

[Marathoner]

Well, ABC has been the easiest of the big three for me to stomach. Perhaps it's because they're the only ones who haven't employed Perky Katie.

[Revererdrv]

ABC may be trying to change an image of being liberal.
Last night was at least a start!

[wtc911]

Hillary - they don't want her as POTUS.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

ABC said that there was difficulty in trying to edit for commercials, that it ruined the flow of the story and made it stop and start in a jerky manner.

[MissAmericanPie]

On 9-11 a line was drawn deeply in the sand. The American people turned their backs on America haters, the liberal talking heads, and the viewer ratings went into the basement for all the alphabet soup Marxist news media.

It wasn't long before the talks began of collapsing into each other in the vain hope that this action would help prop them up. They sat watching in horror as the American flag began to wave from every home, business, and automobiles and Fox News began to take home the bacon in earnest as the place to go for the unvarnished truth.

There was talk then here on FR that these stations might begin to move to the middle and what that would mean. What it means is too little, far too late. People have long memories contrary to popular belief.

Now you have the comedic push on the part of the Demonrat Party to have the nerve to reach out for votes from the very Evangelical Christians that they have trampled under foot for decades suggesting that these Evangelicals would eventually erupt into violent radicalism. Now that history has shown that radical Islam, not Evangelicals are the ones that track toward violence the Alphabet Soup news media are left with egg on their faces.

It will take decades before anyone believes that this leopard has changed it's spots.

[LadyPilgrim]

"Why do they say Iger is a Republican?. Someone posted his political donations here on FR the other day and it was slap full of democrats and two RINOs (Specter and another I can't remember)."

1. Because liberals will take any opportunity to lay the blame for everything on the Republicans.

2. They eat their own.

3. They NEVER admit responsibility for anything. It isn't in their DNA.

Remember, the "Vast Right Winged Conspiritists"? That's us. ;-)

[nativist]

Sure this movie is damning to Clinton, it can't help but be,but I would say they went out of their way to be easy on Clinton. I found the fact that they seemed to edit out the numerous attacks from the first WTC bombing to where they left off last night odd. They had about 15 more minutes they could have filled.

I think they green lighted a movie they thought would make them money and that it would damn Bush more than Clinton because liberals blame Bush's 8 month's in office more than Clinton's eight years. When the movie came out the way it did there was not much of a way to edit out Clinton's role. I saw very little advertising for such a big budgeted movie.

My guess is that libs are used to reading 20 pages of a 300 page book and forming their opinion. When the entire book was turned into a movie they were shocked at "who actually done it".

[reformedliberal]

We have been discussing that, here at home.

Why was this journo able to get the OBL interview and the CIA couldn't find him? That was actually a line of dialog last night. Why was a journalist being kept in the loop by CIA? Why, because our intel and security services wouldn't soil their hands by paying a small maintenance fee to their one informer.

I believe there is going to be a book, as well as the DVD put out to recoup this $40M spent on this. Miller is the real protagonist of this movie. Perhaps this is an attempt to rehabilitate the image of journalism in America today?

Besides putting the blame on the Clinton Administration's cowardly idiots, so far, this miniseries shows that the AQ perpetrated the attack, contrary to the moonbats' allegations to the contrary. "Convert to Islam or die" was emphasized, as well.

Despite whatever edits were made, it is inescapable, after watching, to conclude that Berger, Clarke, Tenet and Albright were so caught up in their "law and order" and "diplomacy" mindsets that they totally failed America.

The actress who played Madge was superb. She even got the set of the mouth and the tone of the voice down pat. Like chalk on a blackboard, to me. I wanted to hit her.

[Mogollon]

Something is afoot. I did not expect Oliver Stone to ever make a movie that was not spueing left-wing drivel but the WTC movie recently released was pretty good and I didn't notice one shot at dubya or republicans in it.

However, ABC becoming fair and balanced is still doubtful.
