1-212-456-7819 - Her name is Pat - she works at ABC

[Coexist]

She is taking all of the calls about this "docudrama" The Path to 9-11.

Please call her and ask - why is this fiction being represented as fact? They claim it is a dramatization, but they have Scholastic Magazine in on a "discussion guide" to the mini-series. Are our classrooms now recepticles for their fiction being presented as fact?

Ask her why conservatives are in on the fantasy-based series, but the left-leaning can't get no satisfaction.

And tell her that you aren't planning on missing Monday Night football for their missed opportunity to do some good, like invite both the Republican and Democratic co-chair's of the 9-11 Commission to serve as advisors.

I am really disgusted with this.

1. Pat?

I didn't know she left Saturday Night Live on NBC.

[The Cleaner]

33. Maybe you should ask Pat's friend, Terry.

4. Richard Clark is a "counterterrorism advisor" for ABC

We should ask her why they aren't listening to their own advisor. . . .

5. wonderful point.

:thumbsup:

[Coexist]

6. thank you.

[EFerrari]

3. Tell her a Disney boycott isn't out of the question if ABC

continues to present fiction as fact. :evilgrin:

9. ABC should get their facts straight

Clinton was going to fly one of the planes but the plan was nixed at the last minute because it was felt he might be recognized by the security personnel.

On Edit: Sorry, forgot to include this::sarcasm:

[Justice Is Comin]

10. They should call it a docuganda.

This is going to be a big bucket of poo for you ABC. You better get ready for egg on your face and shit on your feet.

[truedelphi]

14. Hee Hee

Great word you've musteered into being

[Raffi Ella]

11. THANKS for the post.

I'll forward this to as many people as possible.Thank you for the number and info.

:kick:

[w4rma]

12. The right-wing nuts are going all out on this. (nt)

[rinsd]

13. "you aren't planning on missing Monday Night football"

Now this will really piss you off but Mon Nite Football is now on ESPN which is also owned by Disney.

[QuettaKid]

15. I am all about the phone calls.

K&R.nt.

[calimary]

16. Happy to kick this one!

K&R!

[QuettaKid]

17. KEEP IT KICKED ! ! !

oh and if you live in a state where it's legal, it's always fun to tape these things. Never know what you might catch!!

[WilliamPitt]

18. BE NICE to Pat

More flies with honey, etc.

[SDDEM06]

19. Or as Tommy Lasorda says

You get better milk from a content cow.

Kick.

[Coexist]

20. Absolutely - a concerned "average American"

means more to them then a "hysterical radical."

I should have put that in.

[Scout1071]

24. Thank you for the voice of reason.

Pat didn't decide to air the movie, she's just taking the complaint calls. And I doubt she is the only one.

[progressoid]

30. Normally, I'd agree with that sentiment but at this stage in the game,

I'm going with the flyswatter approach.

[blogslut]

21. I called

Pat's got the answering machine turned on. ;)

I left a message. I said I was an ABC viewer but that I had concenrs they were presenting this movie as fact. I asked if ABC planned to add a disclaimer to the program to let viewers know the show is a dramatization as opposed to a factual documentary. I said I will not watch the program unless ABC includes such a disclaimer.

[Scout1071]

23. Not good enough. A "dramatization" still implies that it is rooted in

fact, when the reality is that this is made up.

[blogslut]

26. I already made my call

Your turn ;)

[InternalDialogue]

22. I'll K&R again, with a comment about the ABC blog

The blog for this show at ABC.com seems to have gone into duck and cover mode. The show's writer and director have gone from posting promotional entries to posting defensive rebuttals of criticism. Interesting to read the entries and comments and note the change over the past week.

27. It is Patrick - but it is a Woman. I spoke with her.

When I called ABC Programming, they told me that they would be transferring me to Patrick, but it was not a man, it was a woman.

Nice catch, though.

[mmonk]

28. I think foisting this fiction on our school children is a new low.

This crap shouldn't be allowed to happen.

[City Lights]

29. Pat didn't answer her phone when I called.

Guess the heat got to be too much for her. :evilgrin:

I left her a nasty message.

[helderheid]

31. another way to take action

32. Destroy her and her family

we must destroy our enemies

[The Cleaner]

34. I called, left a message with Pat.

I told her that even Richard Clark, ABC's counterterrorism advisor says much of the info in that film is false. I said, "I reject it, I ask you not to air it, and I protest heavily against it."
