Ask ABC to Come Clean On its 9-11 "Docudrama"

[JuniperLea]

On September 10 and 11, ABC Television is planning to run an inaccurate film, The Path to 9/11, depicting the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks. The film was written by an avowed conservative activists and it largely places the blame for failing to prevent the attacks on the Clinton administration while whitewashing the failures of the Bush administration.

Reviews of the film have shown it to be full inaccuracies. According to researchers at Think Progress, the film’s distorted version of history is inconsistent with the 9/11 Commission Report, upon which it claims to be based.

The events leading up to September 11, 2001 are too important and too tragic for us let anyone play politics with the facts.

We the undersigned call on ABC to make it clear to viewers that this film is a docudrama, not a documentary account of the events and political decisions that preceded the attacks.

We the undersigned urge the network to run explicit disclaimers throughout the airing of The Path to 9/11 stating that it is nothing more than a docudrama.

ABC needs to come clean on this documentary today.

1. LIHOP

I'm not so sure the effects of such brainwashing will be lasting. That Republicans have stooped to this level, however is significant; maybe it will make some news outlets (and the public) more willing to air and digest stories about what really happened on 9/11.

3. Way to find a silver lining!

Yes! I'm sure the public won't forget this blatant attempt to fool them again. This could backfire. I'm holding that thought. Thank you!!!

5. I would like ABC to come clean on who is behind paying for this

They are running it without advertising. I have a feeling that it is being underwritten.

They need a smackdown.
