ABC revises disclaimer
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 08:28 PM by itsrobert
Dear itsrobert,
I have received several emails concerning the dramatization, "The Path to 9/11" and our network, ABC along with Karl Rove, has issued the following response for your review and consideration:

Statement from an ABC Spokesperson
The Path to 9/11 is a dramatization, not a documentary, drawn from a variety of sources, including free republic posters, AOL chain emails and from personal interviews of Rush Limbaugh. The events that lead to 9/11 originally sparked great debate, so its 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 (so vote Republican) and its fitting that the discussion continues to blame Clinton.

The following disclaimer will air throughout the movie:
The following movie is a dramatization that is drawn from a variety of sources including 9/11 Commission Report as transcribed by Ann Coulter and NewsMax, and from personal interviews of closeted White House press corp members. 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."

Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns.

Respectfully,

Patti C. Smith
President and General Manager
KVUE-TV



SORRY FOR THAT. edit: ;)

12. trolldar?
hmmm?

It's a joke. As someone mentioned before, if anybody can't take it at a joke, I'm not sure about this country anymore. And it was meant to skew the Righties and nothing more. Your "trolldar" needs to be returned back to Wal-Mart. I hope you got the extended warranty.

I quote myself, "SORRY FOR THAT" Meaning, it was such a lame joke, I'm sorry for taking up your time.

Thanks.

Actually, I believe every word. But, of course, ABC would never admit it.
