ABC Planning Massive Free Distribution of 9/11 Docudrama

ABC is planning a massive free distribution of its planned docudrama The Path to 9/11, including sending letters to 100,000 high school teachers encouraging them to have their students watch the series. Variety magazine reports:

ABC is 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.

To spread the word about “Path to 9/11,” ABC is sending 100,000 high school educators a letter from 9/11 Commission co-chair Tom Keane informing them of the various platforms on which the mini is available. ABC and Scholastic have pacted to produce an online study guide.

ABC has also made deals to have the docudrama aired internationally, including in Britain on BBC and in India.

1. could this thing be a coordinated BushCo effort to debunk . . .

all the theories questioning the "official" story of 9/11? . . . sure seems to be shaping up that way . . .

6. There's no doubt about it.

This is a big-time, orchestrated propaganda effort.

9. Disney doesn't give product away for free without an agenda

Pure propaganda. They are attempting to taint this nation's collective memory about what exactly has happened.

We need the Fairness Doctrine put back in place, and we also need to revisit laws addressing corporate citizenship.

14. Yes. It's about a "definitive" version of the 9/11 story

Creating public sentiment against the ongoing work of the 9/11 widows in a way far worse that the corrosive Anne Coulter could do.

2. Looks like ABC will use a little Disney Magic

in their propaganda piece - "Path to 9/11". I hope they all choke on film. Fucking nothing more than RW trash.

3. This is the kind of thing that the Nazis would have done.

You have to ask, why does ABC have such a big interest in this thing all of a sudden? Why is this so important?

[Lerkfish]

5. LOL! great minds, I just posted a similar thing.

[Lerkfish]

4. one wonders what possible financial advantage this gives ABC?

since there is no financial advantage, and it is a one time thing, so its not trying to get schools to sign on to a service, it is therefore inescapable to view this as anything else than political propaganda.

7. I'll bet the government is footing the bill or

a deal has been struck.

[Lerkfish]

8. right, like I said: inescapably propaganda.

[Bonhomme Richard]

10. The repugs didn't get the response they were counting on from....

the movies Flight 93 and World Trade Center. This is one last grand shot at turning the tide away from the democrats.
Pure propaganda.
Don't forget. They were the ones that said that they make reality.

11. Keep trying to blame Clinton

Keep talking about 9-11.

The more they put this in our faces, the more people will ask questions.

What a desperate bunch of sickos.
