definition:DRAMATIZATION, DOCUDRAMA and PROPAGANDA

[berni_mccoy]

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the definition of a dramatization (in the sense that ABC is making one) is as follows:

dramatization -- A work adapted for dramatic presentation: a dramatization by actors of actual recorded events.

Now let's look at the definition of docudrama:

docudrama -- A television or movie dramatization of events based on fact.

The problem is, what Disney/ABC is producing is NOT a DRAMATIZATION of real events. What they are producing is NOT a DOCUDRAMA. The only FACT in Disney/ABC's propaganda piece is that 9/11 happened. Just to be certain I am being accurate here, let's look at the definition of propaganda:

propaganda -- information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help (republicans) or harm (democrats) a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.

Yep, it's propaganda all right. ABC should call it like it is. "The Path to 9/11" -- A Propaganda Film. Let's demand that they do, less they be sued for false advertising.

Note:
I added the (republicans) and (democrats) in the definition of propaganda as topical examples.
