Subject: RE: BS: Osama bin Hitler???....
I sent an e mail in protest to this showing and this is what I got back. Thank you for your email. After careful consideration and weighing viewer input, both pro and con, we at WMTW-TV have decided not to censor this important program.
The Path to 9/11 is a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a variety of sources, including the 9/11 commission report, other published materials and from personal interviews. The events that lead to 9/11 originally sparked great debate, so it's not surprising that a movie surrounding those events has revived the debate. The attacks were a pivotal moment in our history that should never be forgotten and it's fitting that the discussion continues. The following disclaimer will air throughout the movie: "The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of sources including the 9/11 Commission Report and other published materials, and from personal interviews. The movie is not a documentary. For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, as well as time compression."
I reminded them that they refused to show the Reagans in an unfavorable light, and that I would be watching another channel while this is on.
