Disney/ABC markets horseshit show as "EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED" overseas
http://americablog.blogspot.com.nyud.net:8090/uploaded_images/exactlyhappenede-788229.jpg

This is the ad for the show that Disney/ABC has running on channel 7 in Australia. My inner lawyer is just relishing the lawsuits that Disney/ABC and every TV network around the world are going to face come Monday morning. As the other stories now prove, Disney/ABC knew OVER ONE YEAR AGO that their show was riddled with inaccuracies, they refused to fix it, and then they ran ads claiming the show was "exactly what happened." That is a prima facie case for libel, even against a public figure.

As someone just mentioned to me, when this is all over ABC is going to stand for Albright, Berger and Clinton.

6. It airs in New Zealand in a few minutes--one of our members here
is over that way and mentioned it. And so far, NZ hasn't gotten any "edited" copy of the work, and they are planning on showing what ABC (A Bullshit Corporation) sent them originally...

Should be interesting....

7. With malice and forethought.
This should be an easy case.

Now it will be in ABC's interest to ensure that Marshall Law is put into effect before this gets to court.

I think this may be the first play for all the marbles, they must run the table to stay alive.

They have few choices left.

8. Let's be fair and look at their defense-
1. More frivilous lawsuits.
2. Whiny liberals.
3. Activist Judges.
4. Weak on terra.
5. Faulty intelligence.
6. Nobody could have foreseen.
7. 9/11 changed everything.
