Important New "blame on the Clinton team is in the DNA of the project."
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 09:59 AM by helderheid
On September 10th and 11th, ABC is planning to air a "docu-drama" called "Path to 9/11," which is being billed as "an objective telling of the events of 9/11." In fact, the film was written by an unabashed conservative who twists the facts to blame President Clinton.

And since we wrote you on Wednesday, new details have emerged that show even more distortions and intentional conservative slant to the program.

Tell ABC to cancel this show -- and Scholastic, Inc. not to distribute it in our nation's schools.

Among the latest developments:

* Approximately 900 copies went out to conservative bloggers and media personalities such as Rush Limbaugh -- but the producers flat-out refused to send a copy to former President Bill Clinton for review.
* The show's producers have reassured conservatives that "blame on the Clinton team is in the DNA of the project."
* ABC has teamed up with Scholastic, Inc -- a textbook publisher -- to offer this propaganda with an accompanying "study guide" to 100,000 teachers across America.

It's simply stunning to think that as this fall's election approaches, a major television network (which pretends to be politically neutral) would devote six hours of prime-time programming to air such a slanted and wildly inaccurate program. It's unacceptable -- and we all need to take action to prevent it from happening.

Tell ABC and Scholastic to cancel the broadcast airing of this show, as well as its distribution to schools and teachers.

Thank you for working to build a better world.

7. Is that the same DNA inherent in the "party of personal responsibility"?
I guess not. That must be the GOP DNA that causes the automatic reflex of pointing the finger at someone else when you've fugged up.

I've never seen such a bunch of blame-shifters in my life.

anyone would believe anything coming from them anymore.

9. Let's put the blame in the proper place
Feel so helpless fighting ABC, yet hopeful for all the vertebrate Democrats kicking ass that I felt like creating a SYMBOL for this Farce of a FILM.

I hope you'll pass this around, use in Solidarity with all of us that DEMAND our Public Airwaves be used Responsibly. DO NOT BASH our President - President CLINTON that is :)
