Crawl at the bottom of our local ABC affiliate during the 'movie'

"The events depicted in this movie do not represent the opinions of KTUL-TV"

It went by 5 or 6 times twice that I noticed while switching around. That is verbatim and I find it
interesting they did not include "necessarily" in their little disclaimer. Just a FWIW.

1. Sounds like the station got a lot of phone calls

or someone has a conscience?

[Sydnie]

3. Or they want to build a case for why they shouldn't be compelled

to kick in toward any settlement that might be forthcoming should a good suit get off the ground. :shrug:

[karlrschneider]

5. You may have a good point there. I know some people there

still, will see if I can get some inside dope.

[Nikki Stone 1]

11. Would love the inside dope on this one.

Thanks

4. They got a bunch from me and some of my friends, and now

they are (locally) actually ragging on the 'movie'. Bin Ladin still at large, disputing claims that Clinton failed to nab him, have to admit they (the local folks) are being pretty objective. I knew the guy who started KTUL many years ago, even flew him in his plane many times - he's dead now but he was
an okay guy.

16. This is what I can not understand and I have posted it before

ok this drives me crazy

how in the HELL can anyone rag on Clinton for not getting Osama when the liar in chief has had FIVE FREAKING YEARS AND THE SUPPORT OF EVERYONE TO GET HIM....Clinton certainly didn't have the support of everyone to get him or a whole bunch of troops over there to accomplish the mission....so HELLO are these people SO FREAKING STUPID to say oh man that Clinton what a freaking loser he didn't get Osama when their FREAK hasn't gotten him either - it is so beyond my comprehension.....shouldn't there be loud noises in their heads saying WTF....

and by the way there is no way I'm believing that liar in chief couldn't have gotten him if he wanted to I firmly believe he doesn't want to and I think it is either because he is tight with the family or he is holding him for oh I don't know maybe the October surprise.

the other thing that drives me crazy when they try to blame Clinton

HELLO who the hell was pResident on 9/11

Some day my head is going to pop off with all this shit....

2. Where do you live?

6. KTUL is in Tulsa, Oklahoma. n/m

[Rageneau]

17. For KTUL, even a disclaimer is a victory.

Tulsa is BartCop's hometown. He calls it "Knuckledrag, Oklahoma." Meaning that the people there aren't too bright. Meaning that most of them are Republicans. Meaning that local media, like KTUL, are traditionally very conservative. Meaning they usually just parrot the Rove and Limbaugh line. Meaning that getting them to "slightly" disown this piece of crap propaganda by putting up a disclaimer is actually a victory.

If right-wing media outlets in places like Tulsa start being halfway responsible to the truth, maybe we can get our country back.

7. Near Tulsa

[pooja]

8. Why are you watching it????

[karlrschneider]

10. Why not? I even watch Jerry Foulball and Pat ROBert$on sometimes

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. How else to know what they are up to?

[AnnieBW]

12. Thanks!

Thanks for taking a hit for the team. You watch, so we don't have to! :toast:

[karlrschneider]

14. Heh...well some people eat to live, some live to eat, I live to raise hell

:D

9. I spoke to someone in programming at KTUL on Friday.

I sent him the link to watch the ABC ad overseas that said "OFFICIAL TRUE STORY". I told him I would not support the station going forward if they aired the show.

I will call him this week to let him know he's lost a viewer forever. I'm also writing to the producers of "Desperate Housewives" thanking them for the first two seasons, and letting them know how much I enjoyed the show.

I will not be watching it going forward.

[karlrschneider]

13. I was going to call but got a call to fly to Denver Friday & got

hung up there for a while...did send an email they never replied to. But ya know what?...I think this whole thing is a big fizzle for them. I guess we'll see but it was so horribly done, I doubt many
people actually paid much attention.

15. Sounds like lawsuit protection
