Full Court Propaganda Press
By Stirling Newberry

If anyone needs to know whether or not we live in an era of biased, and indeed untrustworthy press, the ABC has sealed the deal - having decided to run hard right wing propaganda under the title "The Road to 9/11" which is filled with lies, distortions and fabrications. Clearly the right wing is absolutely desperate in the face of what could be an electoral wipe out in November, as Americans remain unimpressed with the paltry job creation of the present economy.

Equally clearly, the owners of the major networks have so little regard for the American public that they feel they can simply shovel unadulterated extremism and call it a "docu-drama." Even the films director admits it wasn't a documentary - but the network is billing it as one. It is already being heavily promoted by Rush Limbaugh as "zeroing in on the shortcomings of the Clinton Administration."...

The public has caught on that their paychecks are short, that the war is long, and that the Republicans in power are to blame for this is clear from the poll numbers - consumer confidence, disapproval of Bush and the Republican Congress, wrong track sentiments are all pointing to an American public that does not believe that the present ruling party is capable of handling the job.

So when a party's negatives are high, the only thing that they can do is drive the other party's negatives even higher. ABC intends, in effect, to make a massive undeclared contribution to the Republican Congressional campaign and call it "free speech". Well speech it is, but with trillions in tax breaks for the wealthy, it certainly wasn't free.

2. Anyone have email addresses for ABC?

CBS pulled their Reagan movie because the right wing complained it was left-biased. I'm emailing ABC over this shit!

3. It;s a waste of their air time.

The only people who are going to watch are the right wing clods that are going to get creamed in November.
