Subject: BS: The Path To 911/ABC 5-hour miniseries
From: Barry Finn
Date: 08 Sep 06 - 06:58 PM

I haven't seen this yet posted, I sorry if this is a repeat & surprised if hasn't been commented on.

I really do think that all the recent movies that are based on 9/11 really show a distaste in what the media thinks is tasteful entertainment & the same for a public that is entertained by it. With exception to the 2 French brothers that were onsite already making a documentary about the NYC Firehousse & just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time but only showed the events as they were happening. They were really recording a Historical Record of 911. As for the others they are only capitalizing on an open wound that hasn't yet stopped bleeding never mind that it's still festering.
BUT to air a story like this & to try to pass it off as a documentary or a docudrama & then further use it to convince/confuse a public with misinformation & to use it as a politically motivated campaign tool to try sway opinion of the facts of what actually happened is disgusting & is an outrage. ABC is of course owned by the Hearst Empire & therefore it's not surprising that it's coming from them. I've written them an e-mail to let them know why I won't be seeing their channel on my TV anymore. Not that that'll do much but I feel that at least I've told them.
How do you feel?

Barry


The following is a cut & paste. Included are sources.

Dear MoveOn member,

In a little over 48 hours, ABC will air a five-hour "docudrama" on the 9/11 attacks. The movie was written and produced by a right-wing
activist who fabricated key scenes to blame Democrats and defend
Republicans.^1 It's so partisan that even Rush Limbaugh was surprised
ABC decided to air it.^2 And an FBI agent who was brought in to consult on the docudrama quit because, he said, "they were making things up."^3

//Public outrage is mounting across the country, and Variety reports
that ABC is now "mulling the idea of yanking the mini altogether."^4 But we only have a little time to act. We'll start delivering this petition to ABC headquarters tomorrow at noon and continue as more signatures come in. So we're looking for 200,000 signatures TODAY.

Can you sign? Click here:
http://pol.moveon.org/abcdoc?id=8706-6985103-FDDUNp_zSsa1Wr22CdbZsg&t=4



Then please pass on this message to folks you know who can help.

The Path to 9/11 appears to be part of a coordinated push—including
speeches by President Bush and millions of dollars in advertising—to
exploit the five-year anniversary of 9/11 for political gain. That's not acceptable from anyone—especially not a news organization like ABC.

It's not just that ABC's movie is slanted. Big parts of it are simply
untrue. The producer himself even admitted to simply improvising a key scene which depicts the Clinton administration letting bin Laden go when they had him in their sights—a complete fabrication.^5 Last night, the movie's star, Harvey Keitel, said "It turned out not all the facts were correct."^6

It's really pretty simple: ABC shouldn't have any role in the political exploitation of 9/11. But this docudrama is designed to do just that—spreading a false message to millions of viewers across the country.

Sign the petition to tell ABC not to air partisan propaganda on 9/11.

Anyone who would watch a show on the attack on the World Trade Center for "entertainment" is seriously sick.

Anyone who would watch a tv "docudrama" [what the hell IS a "docudrama", anyway?] in hopes of being presented with factual information is either deluded or a moron.

This has been panned - even by its promoters- as being riddled with inaccuracies and material and scenes invented out of whole cloth. They claim its "fact based" - hell, a good case could be made that holocaust denial is "fact based", but that doesn't make it accurate or true.

The series is utter crap, pandering to a puerile and prurient fascination with death and destruction.

Best thing anyone could do is turn off the TV for this turkey.

I'll take a pass on this bit of pre-election propaganda jus' as I'm tryin' to ignore all these front page headlines about Bush's latest efforts to sell his "used" war... I didn't want it in it's new shiney state and I sure as heck have no need for it now...

It seems that things are now just hunky dory after five years so we can now tell all and show all of the stuff which we somehow had the good taste NOT to show then. And it is not just ABC although that particular piece of tripe needs to be shown up for what it really is (I did the petition too). There are probably 30-40 programs running during this period and they range from extremely well done with taste and the best information to all manner of conspiracy theories and outright bullshit.

When I see one on I generally check out some of it and you can very quickly separate the chaff from the grain....it runs about 99% chaff.....and I move on to something else. There are questions still to be answered but I doubt we'll ever have any.

I can never forget sitting right here and posting the thread asking if anyone else had seen the news about the plane and the WTC. What a change we have seen in the world........

From that well-known leftist rag, the Wall St Journal, today 8 Sept 2006:

Even Scholastic, which had put on its website classroom material to help teachers discuss this blatant propaganda masquerading as a docudrama, has realized that its own material wasn't up to its own standards.

"We intend to have a new discussion guide complete with background information posted on Friday morning".

(It would be interesting to know if they did so.)

The previous information from Scholastic, according to Media Matters for America, "omits critical information regarding the Bush administration's pre-Iraq war weapons of mass destruction claims, falsely suggests a tie between Iraq and the Sept 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.... and asks students to debate whether the media 'hinder our national security' " (How's that for a loaded question, especially phrased that way?)

And remember, this is to be the educational aid.

Oliver Stone's movies are basically not worth the time it takes to watch them. Especially the most recent one, I understand. Among other things he has a white actor (Nicholas Cage?) play the role done in reality by a black man. Also does not even try to discern any possible motive for the 9-11 attacks. I have not seen the movie--perhaps somebody else can confirm or deny. But I'm not about to waste my money or time on that.

Michael Moore's movies make some good points--and stretch others wildly.

But anybody who thinks they can understand history--even recent history-- just by watching movies--needs their head examined.

Of course, Bushites might find this miniseries right up their alley--thinking always was a terrible burden for them.

In a related story in today's news:

Washington -- The Senate Intelligence Committee on Friday said it had found no evidence that Saddam Hussein had ties to al-Qaida or provided safe harbor to one of its most notorious operatives, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- conclusions contradicting claims by the Bush administration before it invaded Iraq.

In a long-awaited report, the committee determined that the former Iraqi dictator was wary of al-Qaida, repeatedly rebuffed requests from its leader, Osama bin Laden, for assistance and sought to capture al-Zarqawi when the deadly terrorist turned up in Baghdad.


These folks were interviewed on Colorado Public Radio, today: (11 Visibility. I didn't get to hear all of the interview, but I don't think they could be anymore far fetched than the shrub and his false claims which have resulted in so many thousands dead, including, what is it now, over 2000 US soldiers?

One good point Michael Moore made in Fahrenheit 9-11 was the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by pro-Iraq war members of Congress for having their own family members fight in Iraq.

Since you're so enamored of this series, please be sure to come back and tell us--after you've wasted 5 hours of your life watching this wonderful cultural landmark of our time---what the good points of the series were.

Histories are funny things. I was involved in a deadly military incident in the late 80s. And recently looked up that incident described on various websites. I was flabbergasted. Not one was right. Some version only mention one ship assisting but never mentioned my ship. Another version credited the other ship as being first on the scene when I am pretty certain my ship was and I found anoutehr website that said mine was. I was standing on the deck as we approached the incident and I saw a tug already there and no one else. It was night so I could have missed it but I don't think so.

These sources stated that the damaged ship was towed to Bahrain--false. They said it sailed back to Mayport, FL under its own power--false. None mentioned that my ship towed it back to Mayport even though that is what happened. One source said that the ship was rebuilt and made seaworthy again. While I haven't checked on that, I would find that extremely hard to believe judging from the unimaginable damage suffered in the midsection and the fact that it was so full of seawater. I find that very hard to believe.

So I can see how historical facts get entered into the record that simply are not true. It seems bizarre that this was allowed and even encouraged for the movie. Saying the series "is not a documentary" is equally misleading. Of course it isn't a documentary, any fool can figure that much out. It isn't true--that's the problem. Just because it's not a documentary is merely a statement of fact that in no way admits guilt over having factionalized the plot.

Nor does the ol' "we had to condense time and make composite characters" going to get them out of it. They are attributed false actions to real people and I hope those people sue. And the whole thing is so obviously an unbelievably cynical Republican election-year ploy that I hope like hell it backfires like a bastard. My god, they're still trying to blame all Bush's fuck ups on Clinton.

Liberals are upset that this miniseries points out that the Clinton administration had an opportunity to kill Bin Laden and decided not to. He was too busy not having sex with that woman, I suppose.

BTW, the actress that plays Madeleine Albright, Clinton's secretary of state who advised against taking out Bin Laden, is Shirley Douglas, the daughter of legendary Canadian socialist Tommy Douglas. She is also the mother of Keifer Sutherland and ex-wife of Donald Sutherland. Shirley is known for being pretty far left wing, so I wonder why she agreed to play this role for the evil-right wing Disney corp.

That is certainly not the issue. The issue is that the accounts have been fictionalized so as to be false. It is certainly libelous. If Clinton is in anyway to blame, why can't they depict instead of lying.

RW answer before November:

"Because they're all muddleheaded idiots who are too stupid to know when their actually spitting on their own cause. She just showed what a bunch of opportunistic morons libs and lefties really are!! All I can do it laugh at them!! HAHAHAHAHA!"

RW answer after November:

"Because that series was a liberal hackjob designed to make republicans look bad in front of the public. The very fact that a known far left celebrity took a role in that cesspool of a production should tip everyone off. I can't believe America fell for that cheap shit. Boo hoo hoo hoo!"


>>Know how much ABC'll care? Not ONE jot! You all just come off sounding like 'Abe Simpson'....<<

I don't necessarily agree. The big networks get really cold feet about grassroots boycott threats. Take them far more seriously than they should. It's this cynical attitude that nothing changes so why try that keeps handing RW Christian nutjobs one political victory after another. While everybody is staying home rationalizing their apathy that if voting really mattered it would be illegal, the nutjobs are down at the polls giving us the worst Congress and president this country has ever seen and likely ever will see for a long time. We can blame them for this even though they either deny having participated in it or are like the idiots in here who think everything Bush does is great and above criticism. But WE are to blame because we let these assholes do our voting for us. We stay home and act all jaded and cynical and taking ourselves right out of the process and leaving it wide open to them. That's out fault not theirs. We have a chance to finally make ourselves heard in a couple of months and I highly suggest we not waste it this time.

Or are you willing to admit that it's going to be worthless agitprop--this time from the Right--and not worth anybody's time?

If you are willing to do so, welcome to the land of the literate.

Donuel, Lindauer comes across as less than credible.

"But psychiatrists say Lindauer suffers from delusions of grandiosity and paranoia, including beliefs that she is an angel and that the intelligence community blew up her computer modem. At least a half-dozen mental health professionals, including a psychiatrist retained by the government, have found Lindauer incompetent to stand trial, U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey said.

There's More Here



"Lindauer says that she has been subject to intense surveillance, threats, and attacks since she began meeting with Libyan officials in 1995 to discuss her knowledge of the Lockerbie bombing. "Someone put acid on the steering wheel of my car on a day I was supposed to drive to NYC for a meeting at the Libya House. I scrubbed my hands with a toilet brush, but my face was burned so badly that 3 weeks later friends worried I might be badly scarred," Lindauer told MEIB. "Also, my house was bugged with listening devices and cameras -- little red laser lights in the shower vent. And I survived several assassination attempts."

Yeah. Right.

Worst part, of course, is that bozos who voted for Bush will see themselves vindicated by this garbage. But of course they can't be expected to do anything but get their "facts" from this kind of source--or Mr. Bush himself--equally reliable.

Sure is good to know this does not include you, Sunset John.

Gee, Ron, you're really on a roll!
You argue by telling me I'm out of touch with reality...ooh stop that hurts.
You presumed I am enamored of the mini-series because I did not bow to the alter of the Church of Hate Bush. I told you you were uninformed in making that comment, but you choose to persevere in that fantasy.
I tell you tongue-in cheek that I will write you a particular type of review you take it seriously.
And if I do not agree with you, I am not literate...jeez you got me again.
Lastly, you call a movie you probably have not seen a piece of 'agitprop'. That is a great '40s Stalinist phrase...you aren't from the forties are you?...designed to stop open discussion.
I am open to the possibility that some parts of the 9/11 movie may not be accurate, or even fair. But I fear that you are too doctrinaire to admit that Stone and Moore indulge in the type of license you are accusing ABC of doing.
BTW, if you tell me I'm not tall it will be the first accurate thing you've written to me.

Try reading carefully for once, John. I know it may be an effort for you, as a good Bushite, to do so. But it really would help the discussion.

"Michael Moore's movies make some good points--and stretch others wildly."

Guess who said that.

And I have also stated that I believe Oliver Stone's movies to be not worth the time it takes to see them.

Any disagreement?

I missed that one, sorry. And I accept those statements and do not disagree. I do wonder how many other anti-Bushites are open enough to agree with you. Sorry I missed your comments, but there are so many comments posted, and, you know, I'm not too literate.

Well, for me it's like Wes Ginny Algebra...

There are 4 major networks: CBS, NBC, Fox and ABC...

NBC fired Phil Donahue and replaced him with a Bushite when Phil Donahue had the balls to challenge Bush in the mad-dash-to-Iraq...

Fox, well, is Fox...

Now ABC has brought forth their offerings to the king...

CBS, on the other hand, delved into why Bush didn't complete his military obligation and we know what happened there...

So, accordin' to the Wes Ginny Slide Rule A+B+C>CBS...

Does he really think people will believe this:

"We learned the lessons of September 11," Bush said on Thursday in the latest in a round of speeches on the subject. "We're working to connect the dots to stop the terrorists from hurting America again."

Somebody get him a colouring book!

"Liberals are upset that this miniseries points out that the Clinton administration had an opportunity to kill Bin Laden and decided not to."

Thats just the problem. There is absolutely no proof of that statement.

THe last I heard, FCC rules prohibited the broadcasting of political messages unless clearly labeled as such, and required equal airtime for responses.
