Sorry if I misspelled his name, but the writer/director of "The Path to 9-11", that excellent mini-series that told the story of the events leading up to 9-11, was told, in so many words by Disney executives, that they couldn't release his film or apparently show it again on t.v. because it could hurt Hillary! Clintoon's run for the presidency.
And you haven’t uploaded it to YouTube yet?
Awaiting your upload....
Well, don’t you think they would do the same for Rudy if he were portrayed in s bad light?
/s/
And hopefully some people recorded it off of TV when it was shown.
What gets me about this also: (full disclosure, I never saw this movie), but what gets me is that I heard that Bush was criticized in this movie too, in the period leading up to 9/11. I heard the guy who made this movie is liberal in his politics, but he tried to make the movie as historically accurate as possible. Unfortunately for the Clintons, their missteps are there.
Look, if factual history hurts her campaign there’s a pretty good reason why it should. Put the show on DVD and let the chips fall where they will.
The current Disney corporation hasn’t done all that well by the Disney name IMO.
Now, I'm no brain surgeon, but if Disney's chucking that kind of money now, even with an edited version!, then one should reasonably conclude that they expect to make MORE than that with the election of the bitch.
Is it on YouTube? I don’t know how that works, but the problem with the version I have is that you can’t skip around like with a DVD. The thing is, Disney WILL NOT release it on DVD OR show it again this September to protect the sensitive feelings of Hillary!.
Did you hear the beginning of the show? Anything you want to add?
I don’t need no stinking movie to *make* me remember. Anyone who can forget ain’t quiet right.
I won’t forget.......I will never forget!
The film cost $40 million to make and a caller just made the point that Disney is throwing money away and stock holders should object. This was an extremely well made film and should be shown every 9/11.
“Disney says Path to 9-11 would hurt Hillary’s! campaign”
At least they’re telling the truth this time rather than dancing around some lame idiotic excuse.
Oh, okay. If it is copyrighted by Disney, do not - I repeat DO NOT - upload it to YouTube.
The Disney police are prowling everywhere.
Have you seen the film? There’s a lot of amazing information in there about what was going on prior to 9/11.
Hillary hurts Hillary’s campaign. So what? She gets way to much leeway as it is. Only cowards do what she does.
And how about all of the false stories the dimwits are putting out about repubs?
bump
Disney will not sell the distribution rights to anyone else who has offered to distribute the film. So they really are quite serious about not harming Hillary’s! important campaign.
Disney boycott in effect now!
