ABC will show who is in charge (50/50 as to which way that goes IMO), but in any case, I bet the uncut version will make it to DVD to make millions.
It doesn't matter much whether the true version of this program is accessed by a handful of tech-savvy political junkies. What matters is what the masses see, or see a few minutes of while channel-surfing. The Clinton gang knows that. They're focused on the big box (TV), not the new toys.
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, IT IS A OKAY FOR A "THOUGHT PROVOKING" FAKE DOCUMENTARY OF THE ASSASSINATION OF A SITTING PRESIDENT, BUT THIS TRUE STORY OF THE EVENT PRIOR TO 911 IS NOT APPROPIATE??
You might be right, but if the uncut version is in the "public domain" things get stickier for ABC and the Clintonista to explain. Also, younger people are very good with bittorrent.
Something is always better than nothing, so your point is well-taken, I guess.
But I can't resist pointing out that the Rats and their media enablers are pretty good at handling sticky situations. One method is to attack those who question you.
We often make the mistake of thinking that if our adversaries can't "explain" something to us, it will also look bad to people very, very different from us -- to the typical "average American" boob who sees a censored program and doesn't know or suspect it was censored, let alone that there's a controversy about this.
Steven Spruiell of NRO checked with ABC and the "spokesman" says the miniseries is set to air as-is. Of course, sometimes a "spokesman" is the last to know or admit if something is changing, but as several here have noted it would be amazing if ABC did try to water down or withdraw the broadcasts since the info is already out and reviewers have DVDs, etc.

ABC: 9/11 Miniseries "Locked and Ready"
09/01 03:42 PM - The Markup
I followed up on Andy's Corner post this morning by calling ABC, and was told by a spokeswoman that the "Path to 9/11" miniseries is "locked and ready to air," and that she hadn't heard anything about a pressure campaign to reopen the editing process. She said that she would check around and get back to me, but that a lot of people have already left for vacation. I'll post updates if they come, but it looks like "Path" is safe from Clinton mischief for now.
I think you have it pegged.
If you are from San Diego - don't use the phone number listed (619-237-1010) it's no longer their number. There was a very nice lady answering calls, but said their new number is 619-237-1160
Bet Philly won't show it
Here's the San Diego info, and their message box is full (wonder why):
SAN DIEGO CH.10 Programming Comment Line: (619) 237-1010 ext. 6686
Thank you, that was VERY helpful.
"it would be amazing ..."
Considering the number of things we conservatives have been "amazed" and "shocked" by in recent years, that doesn't say much, does it? ;)
"some of the affiliates won't show it."
Exactly. Liberals never give up, never take "no" for an answer. If one door is closed, they try another, like a burgler. Usually they succeed.
I can't wait to see this one. Just from the previews alone I could tell it's not gonna be pretty for the clinton administration.
Before talk radio and the Internet, Clinton could get away with this. Not now, Slick Willie. We're not going to let you get away with airbrushing history, you rapist liar.
This is the ABC that's on television? Doing a realistic look at the events leading up to 9/11?
I'm feeling dizzy and disoriented. I'm going to lay down for a while. Can't be a dream .. too danged weird.
Just checked my local abc affiliate programming schedule- they will be showing it here in Orlando WFTV.
I'm calling them tomorrow to say thanks..
Clinton is a yellow-bellied, lily-livered, coward skunk. And so are his mouthpiece cronies.
Can't stand the spotlight of truth shining on them, eh? Scurrying like cockroaches, eh?
Slimeball scumbags, lower than snakes, pondscum worms. Every last one of them.
Remember the broadcast company that was going to show a more historically accurate depiction of Kerry's military service and caved when his lawyers intimidated them?
I wouldn't be surprised to see ABC fold like a cheap umbrella.
