"Path to 9/11" completely demolishes "liberal MSM" myth

[kurth]

Unlike CBS did for the much less consequential The Reagans, Disney/ABC, at least for now, is refusing to refrain from broadcasting this proaganda. C&L has the video (and transcript) of the statement from Disney/ABC here, in which they attack critics of the film by claiming: "No one has seen the final version of the film–because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible."

That makes no sense. The only reason anyone knows anything about the content of the film is because they sent it around to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt precisely to induce them to comment (favorably) on it. If it's "premature and irresponsible" to comment on the film because it's not complete yet, why did they send around screeners to (right-wing) commentators? It only became "irresponsible" once the commentary went from drooling partisan praise to critiques of the film's fabrications and inaccuracies.

In addition to the obvious inequities, CBS' quick and complete cave-in to conservative protests over The Regans, set next to ABC's combative attack on critics of this film, tell you all you need to know about the merits of the incessent, petulant complaints from Bush supporters about the "liberal MSM."

5. There is something very creepy about this whole thing.

There are very deep pockets backing this thing. The backers are very persistent. The part about being "irresponsible" for questioning the validity of the thing has a very sinister ring to it.

11. There is a strong odor of neocon influence. ABC's chastising tone

('how dare you,' you irresponsible peons!) is beyond arrogant.

9. I hope it gets either cancelled or

revised to portray the truth, however, you do know that if that were to happen, the right will be screaming about the LIBERAL MEDIA. It will be fun watching their knashing of teeth and pulling of hair that would immediately happen. :rofl:
