So there are no sponsors on 'Path to 9/11' to boycott?

[spanone]

I understand that there are no sponsors for Path 9/11? Is this correct?

If so, this is brilliant. A sponsor boycott is usually the normal route to get a network to pull a program. Without sponsorship, the threat is totally gone.

So who paid for this fake history program? Is ABC just sooo patriotic?

1. YWAM, the fundy organization that the rightwing director is involved in

Doa search at DU - there are about forty threads about it.

2. What then is the benefit for ABC?

It cost $40 million to produce, and no sponsors--how does airing it benefit ABC?
We need to follow the money...and I bet it leads to a neo-con.

5. I heard that ABC is trying to sell off some or all of it's RADIO stations

and they want the Pubs to stay in power for THAT purpose. I don't really know if they need some kind of pproval they don't think they can get from the Dems, or if somehow they feel they would get more money for the stations under Pub rule.

I heard this on streaming radio, but I don't recall what show it was, sorry.

7. If a theocrat organization is funding it, Disney won't be shelling out

the money.

10. Boy, that separation of church and state is really working, isn't it. nt

12. Corporate America controls our government, and the theocrats

have control of many of those corporate entities.

It's an in-kind contribution to the GOP. An illegal one.

6. No sponsors. re-Variety magazine

~snip~ After originally announcing its intention to air "The Path to 9/11" with limited commercial interruption, the network now will air both parts of the $30 million Harvey Keitel starrer without any advertising.

What's more, the Alphabet will potentially limit its backend profits by allowing consumers to download the complete miniseries -- for free -- via Apple's iTunes Music Store. Mini also will be streamed for free via ABC.com, and XM Radio has pacted with the network to make an audiocast of the film available to its subscribers.

Because "Path to 9/11" will air without sponsorship, whatever audience it attracts won't be officially recorded by Nielsen. ~snip~

9. I realize that, but ABC in general has sponsors, and that's

a list of them.

[kaygore]

13. And ABC keeps saying that this is not a propaganda play!!!!

I bet the streaming versions will be full of even more lies. Wanna bet?

Can we boycott iTunes? Jobs is on the board of directors of Disney and the only way to contact him to protest what ABC/Disney is doing is by slow mail or FAX (ever wonder why Apple is a second tier computer company!!! No public email address for Jobs!!!??? Guess he needs an XP computer to handle all those emails.)

[whistle]

8. Only Disney Company and the republican party

[treestar]

11. Boycott ABC generally - they don't have any show that good -

just turn it off. I watch one of their shows only, so I'm going to dump it. I enjoy the show but it's only a TV show.
