Will You Watch "Path to 9/11" Mockudrama?

[AtomicKitten]

Poll question: Will You Watch "Path to 9/11" Mockudrama?

Just curious what DU'ers intend to do. It is pretty clear ABC intends to air this shameful propaganda hit-piece. I am insisting my cable company block ABC and not charge me for the station.

[Blue_In_AK]

1. I haven't watched any of the 9-11 related movies

or specials. I won't be starting now.

[LiberalVoice]

4. Ditto nt

[StraightDope]

55. That makes three of us...

[Rockholm]

73. Why would anyone watch a 9/11 film?

Personally, I relive that day EVERY DAY. Whenever I see a single clip, I RELIVE THAT DAY. I really do not need to see a "movie" to tell me what happened. The 9/11 Commission got a number of answers a to why, what happened, etc. They also missed a million opportunities to get to the REAL answer as to why/what/etc.
I do not need any actor portraying any part of this horrible day, thank you.
Earlier this week there was a thread on "The Falling Man" and the book that is coming out (or something to that effect). Who would play him?

The Bush Administration is POLITICISING 9/11. The need to stop. They want to OWN 9/11. Then the should pay the price of ownership. Bush was CEO the day it happened.

As "Commander in Chief" the military should try him on the charge of "conduct unbecoming an officer."

[Monkeyman]

2. No Way just going to hear Music that night

[LiberalVoice]

3. There are so many other things I would prefer to watch...

Thats why I didnt watch any of those stupid Disaster/Disease movies. Its nothing more then a distraction. ALL OF IT.

[Missy M]

5. No, I wouldn't waste my time watching.......

propaganda and lies.

[Mark E. Smith]

6. I've blocked ABC on my TV

Along with porn and all the other stuff I don't
want my children to watch.

[babylonsister]

7. So ya wanna see some football? Yes, by golly, or go watch

my grass go!

[AlamoDemoc]

8. please add my sentiment in your poll " NO, I rather piss on it"

[AtomicKitten]

10. done

eom

[AlamoDemoc]

14. Thank you...I voted

[TwentyFive]

9. What about the corporations who SHORT SOLD stock in AA, UNITED????

People in the upper levels knew about 9/11 before it actually happened. That's the real story people need to know.

[Joey Liberal]

11. Hell no, I will not watch it n/t

[napi21]

12. NO! I haven't watched any 9/11 related movies, documentaries,

or anything else similar. I don't need a damn reminder! I was watching CNN the morning of 9/11, and I remember looking at the first shots they showed AFTER the first plane hit, and they werre talking about not being able to confirmwhat kind or size plane it was. I remember thinking "How could any polot be that damn stupid? THEN I saw the second plane hit the second tower! Iwas alone here with my doggies, but I know I gasped and said out loud OH MY GOD, THIS WHOLE THING IS NO ACCIDENT!

I admit, if this ABC film was portraying Shrub as the incompetent one, I would be tempted to tune in, but that's obviously not the case, and I would NEVER give ABC the benefit of even ONE more viewer!

[napi21]

16. Should we ask at least ONE DUer to watch it so we KNOW what

was really aired?

I know it's a big sacrifice, but I don't want to have to depend on only the Media & RWers to relay THEIR interpretation!

[Ian David]

21. Let me pick someone on my ignore list to nominate to watch it...

wouldn't want to subject one of my "buddies" to seeing it.

[primative1]

24. No way ...

Exposing oneself to propoganda attacks is a horrible experience.
I once volunteered to keep tabs on hate radio but after a few hours of listening I couldnt take it anymore and the attitude it left me with took days to wear off.

[MaineDem]

34. That's how I feel, too

And I was watching basically the same thing only I had WNBC from New York on (until they went off the air.) I (like everyone else) never expected a second plane and it was so shocking. I remember shaking as they talked about the Pentagon hit and crying when I called my mother to see if she was watching it and screaming at my husband when the buildings collapsed. It still seems like a dream.

I'm not a big fan of docudramas on tv anyhow. I certainly don't intend to change my ways to watch this one, regardless of its accuracy.

I still find the wounds from 9/11 too raw in any case.

[mwb970]

54. I wouldn't watch it if they said Bush & Cheney flew the planes.

I'm already so sick of 9/11, 9/11, 9/11 and the damn anniversary hasn't even happened yet. In a country that wallows in anniversaries (Fred Flintstone is 40!!), I assume we will have to put up with this sort of crap every single year.

[Nitrogenica]

13. Instead, a candelight memorial in our front yard honoring

the victims.

[jaysunb]

15. Sorry...Sunday AND Monday night football

will be showing in this house. :evilgrin:

[DinahMoeHum]

27. Yep, how can you pass up Peyton vs. Eli for that other garbage??

:evilgrin:

[Dulcinea]

40. Same here.

This garbage can't compete with football.

[CTyankee]

17. Absolutely NOT.

It is not worthy of my time or my attention. I will have dinner, wine and conversation with my husband on our porch on into the evening. We will watch the wind in the trees until darkness comes and then retire to our books and magazines. As W.H.Auden once prescribed: "Read the New Yorker, trust in God, and take long views."

Good advice.

[IndianaGreen]

18. I will be watching the Manning brothers go against each other on NBC

There is more truth in watching my old favorite team NY Giants play my current favorite team Indianapolis Colts on NBC on Sunday night.

[AlamoDemoc]

25. Excellent pick....you and I have the same schedule...good call

[bigwillq]

38. Let's GO GIANTS!

:bounce: :hi:

[Ian David]

19. Already blocked both ABC Affiliates with my parental controls

Don't forget to also block ABC Family.

[AtomicKitten]

22. and Disney and ESPN

there is quite a list

[AtomicKitten]

20. OK, we need a designated watcher.

Will the one person who voted "yes" please report back to DU?

[fuzzyball]

Yes, I will watch it and report back to DU soon after....

My thinking is, you must know what the opposition thinks.
You can't get into their heads if you don't know how they
think and what they think.

I also think it was not smart to give this mocudrama more
publicity by trying to shut it down. With all this bruhaha
there will be lot more people watching than before. I never
would have watched it because I rarely watch movies on TV,
and would have never known about it until I read about the
controversy in newspapers, DU and other media.

[AtomicKitten]

44. thanks for reporting back

I think the concerted effort to shut it down was appropriate because 43% of Americans believe Saddam was involved in 9-11 despite all news to the contrary (and Junior half-assed admitting it). This stuff is defamatory and it is important to be careful before an election, particularly one in which the "Dems are weak on terror" meme is being shoveled knee-deep because that's all they have.

It is just too wrong not to fight IMO.

[AZBlue]

47. I will be back-up.

I plan to keep fighting even after it's aired, as the Republicans did with F-9/11, so I'll have to watch it to see what's in it to be able to list ALL the fiction and fraud it contains.

I do understand what you're saying about the publicity we gave it by trying to take it off the air, but I think it was a chance worth taking. We also publicized the distortions and outright lies within it - and probably prevented a good number of Americans from believing it as fact.

[elocs]

23. I'll be working and I won't record it. n/m

[Penndems]

26. Our teevee will be warmed up for "Sunday Night Football"

We'll be watching "The Manning Bowl" on NBC. :)

[bigwillq]

37. Me too!

:hi:

[Penndems]

45. Should be quite a game . . .

Manning vs. Manning! :D

[Contrary1]

28. I'm sick to death of all the 9-11 movies...

I sat and watched as it happened for many hours that day.
"Never Forget" seems to be their rally cry. Not to worry,
I won't forget. And I don't need a damn movie to remind me.

They may call it commemorating. I think they are celebrating

[Liberalynn]

29. PISS ON IT

The mouse is a louse

[paulk]

30. no.

And I'm not going to watch ABC anymore, either. It's getting deprogrammed, and a letter explaining why will be sent to my local affiliate.
---------------------

And neither is my father-in-law, and he has a Neilson box.

[Golden Raisin]

31. No! I'm a New Yorker

and lived through it. I have no desire to see any of the movies, shows, etc. They are STILL finding body parts downtown. Five years is too soon. And something prepackaged for lowest common demoninator consumption by Disney/ABC? Excuse me while I gag.

[devinsgram]

32. I stopped watching the major networks

A long time ago. Concentrate now on more cable stations. I especially like Link TV for news and also, BBC. If you would ask me about the evening prime time shows, I couldn't make a comment, because I have no idea what is on. Although if you ask me what Sam Seder had to say on Air America, I could tell you.

[City Lights]

33. We're not watching it. eom

[Sam Odom]

35. I will record it sun/mon and watch it in one sitting later N/T

n/t

[bigwillq]

36. Nope

The NY Giants are on. That's what I'll be watching! :bounce:

[ShortnFiery]

39. No, and I wouldn't piss on it if it were "on fire"

:grr: :puke:

[Jack Rabbit]

41. No. I took care of the MSM problem in my house some time ago

Image from Kill Your Television

[Imagevision]

42. Ya'll sound like the quacks who put down F-9-11 without even seeing it

FIRST!!

[BootinUp]

56. Thems fightin words!! lol.

I answered no, rather piss on it. But I am starting to have second thoughts.

[question everything]

43. See a similar poll (with more options)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2072454

[LostInAnomie]

46. I bet more that 50% of DU watches it.

We're gluttons for punishment.

[Rowdyboy]

48. Nothing could make me watch that piece of filth....

Just me but I get too angry to tolerate that kind of shit.

[lpbk2713]

49. Not a chance.

ABC can kiss my .....

[Contrary1]

50. My bigger concern is whether or not

they will interrupt the Colts game for Shrub's speech on terra.

By the way, aren't the Repubs the least bit worried about traumatizing their children with this movie?
Wasn't that one of the reasons Dubya sat for 7 minutes? Didn't want to frighten the little ones?

[sknabt]

51. OH, DARN THAT LIBERAL MEDIA!

When there was a docu-drama about Reagan the conservatives howled because it didn't include a graven image for audience to bow before. The producers kept re-editing it to appease them but nothing doing. Oh, it was that darn "liberal media" once again bashing the poor, defenseless conservatives.

So, what happens when a documentary that's clearly biased against the Clinton administration appears on the scene? Why certainly, it's the public's right to know. To do anything but broadcast it in its entirety is censorship. Darn that "liberal media" for even suggesting such a thing!

[jab105]

52. Yes I will watch it...I don't have cable, tivo, satellite, etc.

I get 3 channels with my antennae, no one can record that I've seen it...

The reason why I'm watching it is because if anyone wants to talk about the movie, I feel like I MUST be able to jump right in and correct the "fictionalization"...if they ask me if I saw it and I said "no", then they wouldn't even acknowledge my responses...if I see it, then I can talk about it with authority...

I'm absolutely fuming about this...I led a 15 person trip to Disney (at $70 per ticket) back in June...
I told my husband that we will never be buying from DIsney again (I explained why, and he agreed - - I've NEVER boycotted anything before, so this is big for me!)

[Wally101]

53. Oh yeah....

I'll be watching it. I'll TiVo the whole thing though, so I can fast forward through Bush's speech.

Mark

[otohara]

57. Randi Rhodes Said She'd Watch

I'll wait for her report.

[zann725]

58. No! Precisely because it IS a Mockudrama....not a "Docudrama", as billed.

We have too little Truth these days, to waste my time watching yet more UNtruth "wolf" fiction, in "sheep" clothing.

[Totally Committed]

59. Tonight is the premier of THE WIRE...

I won't miss pure gold for a pile of dogsh*t.

Let me know how it was.

TC

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

60. Both ABC and Oliver Stone have an interest in distortion

Oliver Stone, incredibly enough, is planning to push the bullshit Iraq and Saddam Hussein connection to the 9/11 attacks. A shame, b/c I used to have some respect for the guy after Platoon-- wasn't Stone one of the people who was furious about all the lies LBJ and other members of the US government told to sucker the US into the Vietnam War?

Yet now, faced with even more baldfaced lies sucking the US into another quagmire in Iraq, Stone seems to be planning to repeat rather than confront them. If so, then he himself is a hypocrite, even more so now that Iraq is poised to damage us far more than even Vietnam did.

[AtomicKitten]

61. Oliver Stone is a real disappointment.

After the brilliant JFK, I expected he would sink his teeth into 9/11. Instead he produced fluff, filler, cat litter, milquetoast. Feh.

[emcguffie]

62. Will your cable provider charge you less, do you think?

I just told my daughter we would be blocking everything related to ABC/Disney, and she is pretty upset about losing the Gilmore Girls. She's 12 years old, close to 13.

Lifetime. A program I'm even kind of glad she likes. But I am going to block them all. Maybe we can rent CDs of Gilmore Girls from the library. That won't put any money in their pockets, nor any advertisers.

[Sam Odom]

63. NO n/t

n/t

[emcguffie]

66. We should not forget Oh, what's her name?

The Navy wife. I found her again lately. The one who did the very long interview, about the orgies and the blackmail.

I don't know what they've done to Oliver Stone, but I think they've got him by the gonads somehow. As I think they have many Democratic members of Congress.

What is her name? I know someone will remember. The interview is posted on line, and it will turn your hair white. Her husband was an officer, I think he went to Princeton? And they had something other than Skull and Bones. Some kind of gastronic club, seems like. I could be way off. Kay.... Kay... I think her name may be Kay... something.

Does anyone remember?

We must not forget the blackmail. They seduce people, get people to do bad things and take video, so they can control them.

Remember the Franklin cover-up? Remember that story that did make the cover of the Washington Post? About the pedophile ring with connections to the first *ush White House?

I apologize for not remembering more. Very sorry I am.

Kay... Starts with G? Kay Gris.... Oh, this is killing me.

[Vinca]

64. MY ABC boycott has begun. nt

[SOS]

65. Watching Simpsons season premiere

More informative, better writing, better fact-checkers and more historically accurate. Vote Quimby.

[catzies]

67. Not gonna watch anything 9/11 related on any channel. Might not even

turn my TV on at all tomorrow.

[RangerSmith]

68. I can't with good conscious trash the accuracy of something

based only on what other people tell me or what I read from the MSM or worse, admittedly biased blogs.

But, I doubt I'll watch tonight. lol

I am very interested in what their portrayal of the bush regime is in this fiasco, so I might watch monday night.

[ChiciB1]

69. I Just Hope The Whole Thing BOMBS!!

But Freepers are gonna get as much mileage as they can out of it! Funny, they didn't have anything like this LAST year!

[citizen snips]

70. No

I have much better things to do.

[NJ Democrats]

71. No, I'll be watching Colts-Giants on NBC

[HughBeaumont]

72. Put it this way . ..

I voted for the "piss" option, since I took a Cheney today with more substance and truth.

[bamacrat]

74. Sunday, and Monday night football. Boycott Bitches speech too.

[AtomicKitten]

75. Alright, I admit it.

I'm going to watch it because I need to know just how pissed off I need to be. I'm taping the lies and will watch it later.

It's like a car wreck.

[Vadem]

76. I'm taping it as we speak! I feel we must see what the opposition..

is fronting! I'll have a record! Not that I'm watching it now, but I will have a record of the lies they will be telling! It's important to have a copy so when you go into court you have some evidence!

[ribrepin]

77. I'll watch the Naudet Brothers documentary about the firefighters on 9/11

It's showing on CBS @ the same time. It was shot on 9/11 and is a real documentary. There are supposed to be interviews with some of the firefighters who were featured in the original. I wonder how many have breathing problems.

It's the documentary that the christians nuts are trying to get fined because of profanity. Gee, I can't think of a better time to cuss than when the buildings fell.

[Vadem]

78. Wonderful! We need all of us to record EVERY thing we can...

about 9/11! Eventually, we will have a library of all the tapes we have recorded! i'm sure that George Bush will be more than horrified about all of the evidence of criminal activity that we have recorded about this war criminal administration!
