Who paid for "Path to 9/11" anyway?

[garybeck]

How often does a network show 4 hours of commercial free programming? If this were truly objective content, I would perhaps believe ABC was just trying to do a service to the American people. But it is so obviously slanted and had an motive behind it, I believe there has to be some money flowing somewhere.

40 million dollars was the cost, and there were no commercials.

And who paid for the teaching materials that were supposed to go to teachers and students all over the country?

I don't believe for a second that ABC was just doing this as a service. Someone is helping pay for this.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

I was just listening to Johnny Wendell here on KTLK interviewing Ray Richmond of The Hollywood Reporter who reports that there have been rumors around town ever since Disney refused to distribute "Fahrenheit 9/11" that Disney has a corrupt relationship with Jeb Bush in Florida.

Posted on Hullaballoo, with original at American Progress by FollowtheMoney:

JEB BUSH CONTROLS 7.3 MILLION SHARES OF DISNEY STOCK: As governor of Florida, Jeb Bush serves as a trustee for the state employees' pension fund. That fund owns approximately 7.3 million shares of Disney stock. According to the Orlando Sentinel on 3/2/04, how the state votes those shares in board of director elections is "a closely watched decision with political as well as economic dimensions."...EISNER TELLS JEB BUSH HOW IMPORTANT THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS TO DISNEY: Disney's agreement with the state of Florida "gives the entertainment company near complete control over 40,000 acres" in the central part of the state. Disney's theme parks operate "free from government oversight – it is in effect the government – and can do almost whatever it wants with its land."
