ABC's 9/11 Fraud - No commercials??
I recently read where ABC was presenting "The Path to 9/11" Sunday night "with limited commercial interruption."

So who is footing the bill? Is ABC doing this out of the goodness of its heart? If so, do their shareholders realize this is a money drain?

I suppose limited commercial interruption means a group of commercials in one block before, halfway through and at the end of, the "presentation." Who are the sponsors?

ABC is owned by Disney, which has George Mitchell as the Chariman of its Board of Directors until the end of the year. If this show can be characterized, at least in part, as an attack on Clinton, will he raise his voice in protest or is his Director's compensation - more than $500,000 annually - too important to him? Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, is also on Disney's Board - he is Disney's largest shareholder with 138 million+ shares -what is his view? Orin Smith, the former CEO of Starbucks and Sybase's John Chen are also Board members. A list of current Directors can be found here:

It amazes me how Bush and his cabal have received so little blame for 9/11, even though it happened on their "watch." Now comes a claiim that ts "all Clinton's fault" - on George Mitchell's network.

2. Apparently they are editing
I just read on a RW blog that ABC has caved a little.

The Disney execs met all through the weekend - unheard of in this business - debating what changes would be made and what concessions should be given. Here is what looks to be the conclusion:

4. An Inconvenient Truth's production company ENDORSES this?
That Townhall piece said the company that produced An Inconvenient Truth ENDORSED this piece of trash? Is it possible to check on that?

I don't believe that.

6. Clinton gets blamed for things that happend during, after, and even before
he took office.

Remember the Freeper letter in the Chicago Trib, talking about "Clinton's dismal performance after Hurricane Andrew (1n 1992, before he was even elected, and six months before he was even sworn in)" ?
