1. well, per this writer, sounds like it is all bashing clinton movie n/t

2. The thing is a whitewash for the chimp by their description.

They had to fabricate the bad stuff about Clinton, otherwise he would have been the hero.

3. They couldn't get ADVERTISERS for it? LOL.

So, they can't give away the time...the only hope is a ratings spike except it is NOT sweeps. So, no spike can help the bottom line.

That means this piece of trash is NOTHING but a gift to the Republicans. Charming.

Between Couric on CBS and this crap on ABC, my broadcast viewing options are narrowing.

4. Just bubbling up from the blogs into the mainstream press -

NEW YORK Just bubbling up from the blogs into the mainstream press -- a New York Times article appears today -- is debate over the "The Path to 9/11," the TV movie to be aired on ABC this coming Sept. 10 and 11. Liberals have charged that it reportedly pins most of the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks on President Clinton, often citing conservative bloggers or talk show hosts who made this very point after attending screenings.

5. Will be a "who farted?" by the time its over?

maybe they'll end up firing someone to try to be forgiven.

I'll be surprised if people don't turn it off after 1/2 hour. They aren't going to be able to develop any characters and most of these characters will be people that we don't know that much about and don't know what they do.

May be it's just me, but if I see a movie where a couple of the characters look alike and I can't distinguish them, I start to get bored and lose interest. We know Clinton, but how many people really know Sandy Berger, Albright and what their jobs were? Or John O'neil, most have never heard of him.

7. 9/11

More liberal broadcasters have been so constrained during the Bush/terror years; doesn't release of this biased 'docudrama' open the doors for liberal broadcasters to do what they haven't yet dared? Will 9/11 no longer be sacred?

8. I certainly hope so.

Maybe their revulsion will overtake their timidity.
