Written by a progressive, only using democrats as consultants. Do you think there would be an uproar by the political right? It would just be fiction, right?

I suspect people would be jailed. And Hollywood would be shut down.

1. Yes, that's why we are CORRECT to raise hell and not back down!
These bastards are going to have to feel it in their bottom line profits before they stop whoring for the GOP. They do this because of sweet nothings whispered into the CEO's ears of even more Media Consolidation. It's time to REGULATE and break up the bloated media monopolies. That is Regulated Capitalism that will not only promote a Middle class but also increase the opportunity for Americans to enjoy a DIVERSE, FREE AND INDEPENDENT MEDIA. ;)

7. The long and winding Path to 9/11
Well, could not we go further back in our time machine and ask:
What the hell did George Bush I do to stop Osama? I mean why not do that? He had the whole middle east in his grubby little hands back in 1991, so why not take Osama out right then either?

Now HERE is a concept for y'all,

It has struck me that this "non-issue" (really if you think about all the treason this admin is doing, this is a non-issue) is REALLY the DLC re-asserting itself as the controller of ALL things Democrat.
I mean it is all a Clinton (+administration) face saving thing that now supposedly ALL good Dems come to the aid of their "fearless leader." Well, it really is sapping our "momentum" on other more important issues, and the corporate controlled DLC KNOWS THAT.

So, I have stayed outside the blogosphere on this one, except for the few phone calls to ABC radio to gnash my teeth on the air, with the likes of Levin (the Zionist) and the new idiot (Jerry) last night taking over Laura Ingram's 8-10 slot in the NY ABC market.

Screw Disney and ABC, they were the next to fall to the nazis after Fox anyway, everyone knew that. I believe that ABC is also stirring the pot to get all good Dems back into the DLC fold, as Hilary was starting to get REALLY antsy at the calls to debate Tasini and with Lamont, and the Screw the DLC push happening as of late, I feel this is the motive for the over-hype of this non-issue.

This all just another Corporate-control of our sense of "what is important."

8. Huh?
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 08:54 AM by ShortnFiery
:wtf: over!

This is important because Scholastic is supporting this Propaganda with STUDY GUIDES. It makes no difference if they put up disclaimers. FICTION should not be paraded as History.

Damn, I'm pissed and if they follow through in showing this DocuDRAMA as HISTORY, I will not have any damn thing to do with ABC, Scholastic or Disney. :grr:

2. And as if it would ever be aired .
2 nights prime time. I don't think that would ever happen. I hope this puts to rest the liberal media myth once and for all.

3. Nothing but breaking up the Media Monopoly (consolidation) will
get the truth out about how we have a Corporate not Liberal M$M.

We must break up this M$M MEDIA MONSTER into smaller entities. It's called regulated capitalism and it promotes "wealth turn-over" vice "old money" fortunes. No, it only affects the Billionaires, not the family farmers. ;)

4. But it might air on Comedy Central,
which is quickly becoming the only network known for honesty in reporting the news. I bet Jon and Stephen's producers would take a whack at it! Maybe we should make the suggestion. :)

6. I suspect anthrax would make a comeback if a LIHOP or MIHOP
movie was in the works.

9. I've said it before and I've said it again...
The only thing worse than one bullshit 9/11 movie is two.
