Following complaints, ABC tweaks its 9/11 mini-series
Chicago Tribune ^

Posted on 09/07/2006 11:21:19 AM PDT by Sir Gawain

ABC toned down a scene that involved Clinton's national security adviser, Samuel "Sandy" Berger, declining to give the order to kill bin Laden, according to a person involved with the film who declined to be identified. "That sequence has been the focus of attention," the source said.

The network also decided that the credits would say the film is based "in part" on the 9/11 panel report, rather than "based on" the report, as the producers originally intended.

I will say that this series has my leftest friends in an uproar. The emails I have gotten have gone over the edge. Now the line is; the series is the product of big business out to destroy the democrat party, that Bush used his power to have this movie shown now and that it is a pack of lies and that Clinton did everything the could to protect America but it was Bush, along with big business that brought on the attacks. The last email contained a statement that everyone should vote democrat to protect their jobs. This is going to be fun.

This would not have happened had it been President Bush and the GOP complaining.

I don't think that President Bush would have complained. He has proven himself to be above that.
(But I get your point and agree with you.)

The tweaked ABC miniseries will now focus on the team of 100 CIA agents who snuck into the towers the night before to plant thousands of explosive charges in key supporting structures. It will also focus on the cruise missile that hit the Pentagon and re-create the diversion of Flight 77 to Area 51 where the crew and passengers (including the wife of solicitor general Ted Olsen, played by Merryl Streep) were summararily executed.

Of course that was just a practice run before they blew up the levies in New Orleans.

Free speech? What free speech??

ABC is toast. They just proved they are a shill for the liberal Dem propaganda machine. Dems can celebrate, but this will have long-term consequesnces. No way they can deny that they caved to Dems and Clinton. Tweak = Censorship. Thanks ABC for proving you are Clinton's lap dog. Maybe you should give him a BJ while your at it.

With the known Clintonista threat machine, they could be editing 'round the clock .. easily. Thank God there are folks who've seen the enedited version: Hugh Hewitt, Brett Bozelle, Rush .. among others.

WHAT SCUMBAGS!!

Seems as if TV docs lately are turning into video Wikipedias. One or the other sides forces changes and when the show airs, we see the latest version.

Interactive documentaries! Maybe we should each have a keypad and vote.

"Who do you want to blame for missing binladen in the next scene? (a) George Soros (b) Bill Clinton (c) President Bush (d) the CIA (e) the military (f) pick one at random for me. Vote NOW."

"Tune in tomorrow and see if you can make this same doc turn out the way you want!"

Can you imagine if the Bush Administration called any network and asked it to edit out scenes on a TV show?

The CRIES of CENSURESHIP, and the greatness of FREE SPEECH as well as the call for IMPEACHMENT would have been shouted by every DBM outlet and every Democrat in the nation if Bush dared to complain about Fahrenheit 911

I was expecting a "rope a dope" all the time: create controversey, make conservatives interested in tuning in, and present a Clinton whitewash

So was the scene deleted because Burglar:

a. Wanted ben Laden killed?

b. Didn't want ben Laden killed?

The answer to that question is the answer to the puzzle.

That was predictably quick.

I think they had planned to do this all along. They only dangled the uncut version to try to increase conservative audience share.

By "tweaking," do they mean they now imply 9/11 was an inside job?
