How to Contact local ABC affiliate

What I wrote:

Subject:
Please Cancel 'Road to 911"

This "Special" is obviously flawed, and having
been written by a close associate of Rush Limbaugh,
clearly has the objective of discrediting the Clinton
administration's actions against Osama Bin Laden and
Al Quaeda.

ABC has already admitted that key scenes in the
special are fiction, presented as fact. The script is
not based on the 911 Commision findings, but
claims to be.
You owe your viewers much better on this
vital issue.

Well, the general manager of the Indianapolis ABC affiliate has already expressed his thoughts on the issue in his blog at: http://www.rtv6gm.com I sent in my comments anyway. Perhaps the rest of you would like to join in!

Here's an excerpt from his blog:

"So, my faith in humanity is restored. Now it’s the liberals.

Typical e-mail: I understand that you will be airing The Path to 9/11. Are you aware that this is a right-wing slanted viewpoint represented by Cyrus Nowrasteh? He is a self described ”unabashed conservative”.

I get it. ABC, formerly enemy of the right, now has a conservative agenda and is out to destroy Bill Clinton (and maybe Hillary), the Democratic Party and whoever gets in the way of the producers.

Here’s what ABC says: “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.”

It’s a drama, folks. It relies heavily on the report of 9/11 Commission headed by former Governor Thomas Kean ( Republican - New Jersey), who was also an advisor on the film. And ABC will frequently disclaim the content in verbiage similar to that above.

So, tune in Sunday (and Monday). After you’ve seen it, form an opinion. And let us know"
