Response from KMGH7 Denver to my email about "Path To 9/11"

[XOKCowboy]

Thank you for the email regarding “The Path to 9/11”. The following is a statement issued by the ABC Network:

The Path to 9/11 is a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a variety of sources, including the 9/11 commission report, other published materials and from personal interviews. The events that lead to 9/11 originally sparked great debate, so it's not surprising that a movie surrounding those events has revived the debate. The attacks were a pivotal moment in our history that should never be forgotten and it's fitting that the discussion continues.

The following disclaimer will air throughout the movie:

"The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of sources including the 9/11 Commission Report and other published materials, and from personal interviews. The movie is not a documentary. For dramatic and narrative purposes, the movie contains fictionalized scenes, composite and representative characters and dialogue, as well as time compression."

Again – thank you for writing Denver’s 7.

Gee how unfulfilling. I think Mr Petty and I will be exchanging some more emails. You all are welcome to call him if you with! :)

1. Got it. Now "fictionalized scenes" has replaced

"goddamned fucking lies"


:grr:

3. I'm gathering my facts for a rebuttal...

I truly believe that making the local affiliates is the key to getting this thing stopped. Bombard them with emails and phone calls folks. Corporate ABC and Disney don't give a damn about protests. The locals are more tied to their viewers. Give 'em hell!!

6. I called -and- emailed my local affiliate KTUL

Couldn't get the GM on phone & got shuttled off to some ditzy girl in 'programming' who had no idea what the hell I was talking about. No reply to the email yet.

7. Tulsa boy huh??

Well for sure give them hell! Note the XOKCowboy? I grew up about 30 milese north of Tulsa.

10. I grew up in Tulsa but live on Ft. Gibson lake now.

Almost never venture back into that traffic nightmare unless it's absolutely necessary. :D

2. This is the same form letter someone else got today

from another state. So this ass-wipe Mr.Petty didn't even write this.

I think the other is on the greatest page.

4. St Louis is SCREWED....The ABC affiliate here

Channel 30, is owned by Sinclair Corporation..you know the folks who wanted to give the Swift Boat Veterans a good block of time to air their anti Kerry film in 2004.

9. Good thing nobody watches that station

Isn't Channel 30 one of the few ABC affiliates to not have a news department?

Supposedly, ratings were so low (probably due to Sinclair's failed "News Central" approach) that they ditched the news department altogether.

I've heard that most of Sinclair's Big 3 network affiliates are embarassments, and that they only do well with UPN and WB affiliates (now CW and MYTV).

11. You are correct, Channel 30 does not have a

news department.

The only thing I watch on that station is Lost and may have to stop doing that.

12. I think what happened was they lost viewers after their transmitter broke

they were too cheap to maintain it

5. Looks like KMGH7 Denver should have it's license renewal challenged...
