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 heard Jed Babbin talk about this yesterday and he said that even with this scene edited you cannot come away from this movie not seeing how little Clinton did

Maybe, but ABC just blinked. The left will see this, and will react just like their heroes and idols the Islamofascists do when they see weakness, and will now bore in for the kill.

For a Real Demostartion of 9-11 watch National Geographic's special on Ali Muhammad. He told them of the Africa bombings and laughed. He told them of Persian Gulf Ship attacks and laughed. He told them of Flying planes into National Buildings and laughed. Unreal Clinton's adminstation did nothing from hearing this in 1997 to 2000.

The director and writer of the film should go public that this film has been edited against their wishes.

I realzie that it won't make much difference, but if nothing else, ABC needs to be recognized as an entity that does not honor artistic integrity.

So ABC buckles to the NAZI-like Censorship demands of the Clintonistas, and the left....

Yet again, it's PROVEN that nobody hates the concept of FREE SPEECH more than a liberal....

The media has the balls to stand thier ground defending itself promoting the LIES against Rove, but they DON't have the stones to stand tall when telling THE TRUTH..
Do we need any moore proof??

FYI.

Well, we both hoped but I doubt anyone on FR is surprised about this.

Internet "Signatures" are like MSNBC online "Polls"...

They ALWAYS seem to have more "Votes" than viewer ratings when it's an anti-bush question...

funny how that works, isn't it?

Has it ever been determined exactly what documents Sandy Berger stole from the National Archives? And if he didn't burn them how do we know if he returned them?

I sent them a not so nice email basically saying they might as well tone down the name of the special to 'The sort-of True Path to 9-11'.

When the Bush adminstration will not call the GORLICK WALL the Gorlick Wall just a generic "the wall" what do you expect.

Of course now the UNCENSORED DVD can be sold with great promotion.

I bet the UNCENSORED video will be on the P2P networks within hours.

I bet the UNCENSORED scene will be the ONLY scene most people watch.

What they are ABSOSLUTELY TERRIFIED about is the FACTS getting out to the Sheeple, in a form that they may actually pay attention to....

Correct. Did anyone in the Bush Admin ask Michael Moore to change the content of his completely false movie? Nope.

I wonder if there is anyway to get our hands on the 'clean' (unPC) version that Rush etc had seen. Probably not.

If anything it was very enjoyable to watch the Clinonistas have a complete melt down over this.

Rush Limbaugh has an uncut copy, so no matter what gets cut, Clinton can never hide it.

If someone on the inside of ABC had a pair of brass ones, they could post the edited parts on youtube.....

Just called ABC's Hope Harpman's office and anyone with a comment is being hung up on.

Post #2 on this thread has a link for comments to ABC. I used it, everyone should.

For maximum impact, keep it short, polite, and to the point.

Just a suggestion.
