ABC Said it WOULD REWRITE parts of the 9/11 movie |
|
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 01:41 PM by berni_mccoy
Under pressure, they are rewriting/recutting parts of the movie that have been identified as inaccurate! Wife just heard this on NPR... she said they also reported that Scholastic has COMPLETELY pulled out!!!! Has anyone else listening on NPR?!?! I tuned in but too late... still listening in case they repeat the story...
I have a hard time believing they have the time and ability to do this before it is supposed to air... I bet it's a way to get people who are planning on boycotting to watch...?!?!

I do not believe for a MINUTE they will do anything less than keep the meme that "clintondidit" ergo "thedemocratsareresponsiblefor9/11"

2. I don't see how ABC can salvage the movie. The plot revolved |
|
around blaming 9-11 on Clinton.

Do they think the public is that stupid? It is not live!

4. They certainly can't re-shoot parts of the film......... |
|
and if all the lies end up on the cutting room floor there won't be much of a "mini-series" left. My guess is that there will be minimal editing and it will air pretty much as it was intended: as a pack of lies.

5. Remember: The DVD/VHS version WON'T be "edited" |
|
The broadcast 'version' is always 'edited' ... but the sales and distribution versions will be full-bore PROPAGANDA - PRICELESS exposure for a $40 million RNC/fundy/fascist 'ad'.

7. How can ABC justify this???? |
|
Why in the hell would they cut out scenes that are lies, and proceed with this movie?
The movie has been demonstrated as a sham. It's certainly not based on the 9/11 Commission report--as they claim. So...instead of airing a fact-based movie on 9/11---they're going to release a "fictional docudrama" that had to be slashed in the editing room because it contained lies?????
Why would they air a movie on this huge, historical event---that is partisan, offensive, a pack of lies--and, by their own admission, so inaccurate that parts of it needed to be left on the editing room floor?
Have they no respect for what happened to our country on that day? Do they think 9/11 was a joke? Fodder for entertainment?
These recklessness and absurdity of these people is unprecedented.

9. They are now exposed.. |
|
... to a lawsuit, they are going to try to edit out the parts that they think might be actionable.
I hope Bill sues their asses anyway.

10. I'm telling you, this thing is not going to air this weekend. |
|
Especially since Bush announced he's giving a primetime national address at 9:00 on September 11.
Since "Path to 9/11 Part II" is scheduled to air at 8:00 on September 11, I really doubt ABC is interested in airing the program if the President will interrupt it in the smack-dab middle.
This thing will air, but at a later date. And probably on Animal Planet or something.

"We didn't have time to fix it. We'll air it later." Then, * will load it on the manned mission to Mars and it'll never be heard of again.
