announced on MSNBC --- ABC to make announcement

looking for link; cannot link you to my TV back in time which is why I posted this here and not LBN (although I see someone else did without a link, so apparently someone else heard it too).

Yes, where? MSNBC stated that ABC was to "make an announcement"
but I haven't seen the coverage of "pulling" anything?

24. Firedoglake has been working on this...
http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/09/07/from-the-dept-of-were-not-going-away-so-get-used-to-it/

"BREAKING: ABC is going to make a statement shortly on whether it will pull the mini-series, according to MSNBC — until we hear one way or the other, keep up the pressure, gang. More as I get it. 12:54 pm ET. "

So perhaps they did.

14. Vote in this poll while we wait for verification. :-)
Do you feel ABC is misleading the public though its dramatization of Sept. 11 in "The Path to 9/11"?

21. Breaking News Right Now on MSNBC: Apparently it's just a statement
from Clinton. Awaiting official statement from ABC that this is a docudrama and not necessarily historically accurate. :eyes:

Don't think they are pulling it.

23. LA Times: Following complaints, ABC tweaks its 9/11 mini-series
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0609070170sep07,1,3096246.story?coll=chi-newsnationworld-hed

The Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal advocacy group, said Wednesday it had collected 25,000 letters asking ABC to either correct or cancel the mini-series.

The mini-series "presents an agenda that blames the Clinton administration for the 9/11 attacks while ignoring numerous errors and failures of the Bush administration," the center said.

ABC toned down a scene that involved Clinton's national security adviser, Samuel "Sandy" Berger, declining to give the order to kill bin Laden, according to a person involved with the film who declined to be identified. "That sequence has been the focus of attention," the source said.

The network also decided that the credits would say the film is based "in part" on the 9/11 panel report, rather than "based on" the report, as the producers originally intended

26. I've had MSNBC on all morning, NO PULLING of the thing mentioned
They refer, repeatedly, to a STATEMENT BY ABC, and that is ALL.

28. MSNBC just did a piece on the Clinton statement.
No mention was made of ABC pulling the show. Until we get some additional verification, I'm going to lock this thread. Sorry.
