Fox To Air Controversial Scene From "Path To 9/11"
Fox To Air Controversial Scene From "Path To 9/11"
By Eric Kleefeld | bio

Great Moments In Fox News Dept.... Fox News has announced on the air that they are planning to run the fictitious scene that was cut from ABC's 9/11 special this weekend. This is big news: Remember, that's the fictious scene about how the Clinton administration allegedly let Osama Bin Laden get away — the one that sparked a massive, days-long battle between ABC and Clinton and his defenders that resulted in ABC editing out the scene.

4. ALL of them.
I've come to realize they're nearly all completely and utterly delusional.

It's very sad.

5. .
I think so, too.
Most of them repeat again and again that Clinton let Bin Laden get away a dozen times, anyways.

9. You might take a little care in how you word your replies --
At first glance, you were agreeing that the Clintons eat babies.

:silly:

And you're right - this isn't going to suddenly convince anyone who doesn't already believe the propaganda.

6. Perfect place for it.
The people watching Fox are weak minded individuals that have succumbed to the "sheep" mentality from their right wing masters. They want to show it there that's the perfect place for it. The only thing we have to worry about is all of the chain e-mails that we will start getting that cite Fox as an authoritative "source".

Oh, and this will be shown on Hannitys show, so that even further weakens the odds that anyone with any ounce of sanity is watching.

7. Sue Fox
Didn't someone suggest suing ABC over these fictious scenes, and isn't that why ABC decided not to run them?

Couldn't someone file suit against Fox?

If Fox is determined to run these fictious scenes, they should be made to pay for doing so.

8. Clinton's spokesperson is already on the case...
"Fox News Channel is touting the fact that it has obtained controversial unseen footage from ABC's miniseries 'The Path to 9/11' and is planning to air the video during 'Hannity's America' on Sunday night," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Fox News obtained the outtakes by taping a public talk that Cyrus Nowrasteh, writer and producer of 'The Path to 9/11,' gave to a World Affairs Council chapter last Friday at Cal State Channel Islands. Nowrasteh discussed making the docudrama and played several minutes edited out of the movie," the Los Angeles Times adds.

President Clinton spokesman Jay Carson takes a shot at FNC in the LAT story: "This movie was a completely false piece of right-wing propaganda when it was on ABC, and it will be exactly the same on Fox if they make the unfortunate choice to air it, though it should be right at home."
