ABC's blog about "The Path To 9-11" is back up!

[Archae]

http://blogs.abc.com/thepathto911/2006/09/even_futher_cla.html#comments

And all the comments are totally negative about the docudrama.

:woohoo:

[ClintonTyree]

1. I've added my 2 cents......

for what it's worth. I will not watch this POS "docudrama" and ABC and all affiliate stations have been blocked on my TV. I hope that makes their sponsors happy! Of course their Corporate sponsors have much to be gained by this revisionist fairy tale so I wouldn't expect them to care much at all. The better the Bushies look the longer Republicans will stay in control of our government and that means more huge tax cuts for the wealthy and more Corporate welfare. Hell, ABC would probably run this POS commercial free if the had to. Gotta' keep those Corporate tax cuts coming, dontcha know? ;)

[Bluebear]

2. 'ABC would probably run this POS commercial free '

I believe they are going to. Assholes.

3. If ABC is running this "commercial free" then . . .

who's paying for the air time? Don't tell me ABC is doing this out of the goodness of their heart - their shareholders might want to know.

[Bozita]

13. ... who is paying the $30 million for the mockumentary?

[HMonk]

14. The BBC is showing this....

... on sunday and monday, which is unusual as we don't tend to get U.S. programming until after it is shown in the states.

You may find that this has been distributed to other foreign networks, thus getting rid of the need for sponsors on ABC.

[Avalux]

40. Bushco is paying for it with taxpayer $$$ probably.

Perhaps it's part of the Pentagon's propoganda offensive.

[Senator]

4. Let's see what "the author has approved"

Which is all that will appear online.

Here's my post

---
You can either have "dramatized" or you can have reality.

One side of your face (here) claims "dramatized." The other side produces "teaching aids" to influence our children.

Sorry, one side of your face is lying. (Probably to yourselves as well. More's the pity.)

I will do what I can to stop your "teaching," ignore your "drama," and boycott your sponsors.

Then let's talk, ok?
-------

Think I'll get "approved."

5. I'll take a look when I get home from work.

[Vinca]

6. My post called it for what is is: political propaganda.

And I blamed it on corporate media which is overtly Republican. I also mentioned a boycott of ABC and its sponsors.

[chat_noir]

7. spelling and accuracy check

Didn't Cheney head up an anti-terrorism committee? You know, the one that never got around to meeting?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

8. I added my comments. I wonder if they'll be approved.

I asked about the funding, if ad revenue isn't involved.

Always follow the money. MKJ

9. K & R.

[KharmaTrain]

10. ABC Loves The Buzz

The old chestnut is "Say Good, Say Bad...Just Say". That appears to be how ABC is playing this scam...hoping to piss both sides off and get the maximum buzz. The wingnuts are screaming how great this thing is and any attempts to censor or pull it off will be viewed as some "librul conspiracy"...great red meat. The left is all aghast due to the obvious phony premise that has already been debunked, but just the furor is making this thing get far more attention than the Zigfried & Roy bio pic. The hope is people will be so "buzzed" that they're gonna watch...either to "support" it or to beat it to death...either way, ABC appears to think this is gonna draw ratings. We shall see...

[ProgressiveFool]

16. The thing is, though

Why draw ratings when there's no advertising? I saw somewhere that Nielsen's not even going to monitor viewership of the thing.

It's a fucking infomercial for the reality-challenged community. I think tracking down the funding for this thing will blow it wide open.

[KharmaTrain]

36. Ratings Mean Money...Why Worry About Ratings When You Have Money

My bets are there are some corprate sponsors who signed on to this fiasco...probably right wing or Repugnican contributors...who bought up the commercial slots months in advance and couldn't care less about ratings.

Yep...it'd be interesting to see who advertises on this sham and then follow the money. Surely these advertisers...or their agencies...should be well aware now of the controversy this show is generating and their continued sponsorship says something about their own agendas.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

11. There are only a few comments, which are from Sept. 2.

I guess they haven't approved any comments from today. B-) MKJ

[Cobalt Violet]

18. Just rightwing ones at the bottom.

[Archae]

12. The bastards won't post anymore postings.

Looks like they are getting a new one reamed out.

[IChing]

15. I posted right now, but can't find my post

:-( :shrug: :shrug:

[Cobalt Violet]

17. They are screening them.

The last few have only been form the right-wingnut wacko world.

[IChing]

19. Like this one from ByTheWay??????

BTW. This blog is being flooded with comments from the terrorist lovers at DemocratUnderground.com hence all the negativity on display.

[helderheid]

22. We're terrorist loving? Aren't WE the ones screaming WHERE'S OSAMA?

Jesus what an ignorant fuck.

[EVDebs]

27. Ptech and the wargames of 9-11...something ABC won't touch

with a ten foot pole. Ptech STILL has WhiteHouse and DoD access according to Rachel Ehrenfeld's article Dollars of Terror

"Ptech is used primarily to develop enterprise blueprints at the highest level of US government and corporate infrastructure. These blueprints hold every important functional, operational, and technical detail of the enterprise. A secondary use of this powerful tool is to build other smart tools in a short period of time. Ptech’s clients in 2001 included the Department of Justice, the Department of Energy, Customs, Air Force, the White House, the FAA, IBM, Sysco, Aetna, and Motorola, to name just a few."

So with Wargames scheduled for 9/11 and the neocon's 'green light' and another President 'sleepwalking through history', we get the finger pointed at...Clinton. Just lovely, huh ? M$M at its worst.

Ptech now goes by the name GoAgile
http://www.goagile.com/

This makes the Dubai Ports dustup pale in comparison.

[melissinha]

42. I saw that too

Damn right we'll flood it... liberals like evidence and facts and we don't stand for that crap.

[alfredo]

30. I sent in two. One was a plea for balance, the other was to

refute Brenda's comments on Moore's movie.

[helderheid]

20. recommended!

[Richard Steele]

21. Added my 2¢. The freeptards have found it now, btw.

[Coexist]

23. Calling all Terrorist Lovers! DU gets a mention on the blog...

"BTW. This blog is being flooded with comments from the terrorist lovers at DemocratUnderground.com hence all the negativity on display.

Posted by: ByTheWay | September 06, 2006 at 11:24 AM"

[janx]

24. "terrorist lovers"

Yeah, right...

[Richard Steele]

32. Yeah, them Blog Mods aren't PARTISAN or anything.

[IChing]

33. As representative of the Thought Police your post

makes sense. I had a thoughtful post and it never got posted there.
They need their own lounge

LOL

[Coexist]

35. Agreed - I penned a nice, but questioning post

and it still isn't up.

[SeattleRob]

25. Very interesting

I wrote a comment that criticized their production as shameful. I was polite and concise. My comment has not appeared -

yet there is this comment:

"BTW. This blog is being flooded with comments from the terrorist lovers at DemocratUnderground.com hence all the negativity on display."

This speaks volumes about ABC and the hacks who are censoring their blog.

I am officially boycotting ABC/DISNEY.

[ShortnFiery]

26. This speaks volumes about ABC and the hacks who are censoring their blog.

Roger THAT! M$M knows that perpetual war will help them consolidate even more.

The USA Corporate Media are Jingoistic Whores for Dear Leader and The Pentagon! :grr:

[EVDebs]

28. Wm Casey, Cap Cities stock, and Disney

All about the CIA covering up. Tinkerbell's minions.

[saracat]

29. My Democratic family members work for Disney. It is very sad but they can

do nothing. I will not encourage a boycott of Disney or ABC as too many innocent people could lose their jobs.BTW, it was also Disney that produced Commander in Cheif. They are not all bad.

[blogslut]

34. Mine too

I simply asked for the blog writer to name one right wing person that has claimed the production had a left-wing bias. Used my real name too. Funny how my comment never appeared.

[Avalux]

39. I saw that too -

and like you, I wrote a polite but critical note, told them I would no longer watch programming on their network if they air what I consider a piece of propoganda. Mine isn't up either. :eyes:

[Oreo]

31. Why am I not surprised that Patricia Heaton is in this?

http://abc.go.com/movies/thepathto911/bios/patricia_heaton.html

You'd think they'd find a part for Kirk Cameron too.

[bliss_eternal]

50. May I go on record and state that I hate her...?

:mad:

[Oreo]

51. You may

[bliss_eternal]

53. LOL! Thank you.

She sucks.

[JohnWxy]

37. CBC will be having documentary about this which will go into the issue

more fully than any U. S. corporate network will.

Clinton's terrorist intelligence specialists would have told the Bush crowd that they knew there was some intelligence of a possible commercial airliner attack but Cheney, Wolfie, adn Rumsfeld didn't want any briefing from Clinton's people!!!

[Bunny]

38. Edit, nevermind.

At least three other people beat me to the punch!

[Quixote1818]

41. They didn't post my comment

The only comments they are posting now are from Freerepublic ass holes. That blog is a joke.

[Sparkly]

46. Remember the Deborah Howell WaPo debacle,

related to the meme that "Democrats took Abramoff money?"

Seems like deja vu somehow.

[Catherine Vincent]

43. I noticed their write up about the show doesn't mention Clinton once!

But I'll bet it sure paints him in a bad light. That's just trashy.

[saracat]

44. Hmm. I am not allowed to register or post a comment!

[Sparkly]

45. Mine hasn't showed up, either.... My hunch...?

I suspect this reflects the view in their statement at the top of the page.

In other words:

Since the rightwingers scream LOUDLY that the media is liberal, they need to bend over backwards toward the right to equalize the pressure.

Since the truth isn't equally kind to both presidents, they need to equalize it by blaming Clinton at least as much as Chimpy.

And since the truth has an "agenda," they need to smooth it over with LIES portrayed as facts.

Sickening... :puke:

[mnhtnbb]

47. Just tried to post. Last one up is 4:49PM today. They must

be getting creamed with posts so they stopped putting them up. scaredy cats.

[Sparkly]

48. Or, they're waiting for more rightwing ones

to be "fair" and "balanced" and "honest," equalizing the criticism with the praise....

Just like it's now considered "fair" to equalize the truth with lies.

[bliss_eternal]

49. kick

:kick:

[mnhtnbb]

52. Still no posts beyond late yesterday afternoon. Scaredy cats!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

54. kickity kick, they've run out of literate sounding supporters, and I'm

just guessing the majority of posts are very negative.

:eyes: MKJ

[sproutster]

55. Here's mine: (don't think they'll post it)

The White House has confirmed that, on August 6, 2001, President Bush's Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) specifically focused on al Qaeda's intent to attack the United States, and specifically warned that airplane hijackings could be involved. According to press reports, the PDB included a fresh report from British intelligence warning that al Qaeda was planning multiple hijackings.

*snipped* due to artistic license

Boycott ABC/Disney

(pretty sure they wont post it)
