"ABC is Dead to Me if they air The Path to 911"

[Melissa G]

This statement was made to me by a die hard Desperate Housewives fan after hearing about the fraudulent propaganda called PT 911 being promoted as a docudrama by ABC. American Broadcasting Corporation, the latest rival to Fox News for Faux News and now Faux History, Too.

I this this needs to be a New Internet Slogan..

ABC is Dead to Me
ABC is Dead to Me
ABC is Dead to Me

if they air The Path to 911..

Desperate Housewives fan that she is there might have been a tear in her eye at the thought but she will do it.
I'll do it too, but I don't watch much TV since the West Wing was cancelled...

Edit to suggest Boycott of Season Premiere Week! ABC is Dead to Me if they air the Path To 9/11!!!
call your local affiliate and let them know!

1. "ABC is dead to me!"

Love it.

It would be cool to get some liberal celebs to hook up with this.

How about Rosie O'Donnell? Isn't she on "The View" on ABC now?

[Melissa G]

10. ABC is Dead to Me! It has a good ring to it!

I can hear it resounding throughout the blogs!!!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

2. They Don't Know She's Watching Anyway.

So the concept is rather futile in a way.

[readmoreoften]

3. Not if some boycotters are polled by Nielsen. /nt

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

6. Yeah, They'll Really Miss Those Two.

:rofl:

[Melissa G]

13. We can call all the ABC affiliate networks and say

ABC is DEAD to Me if you air the Path to 9/11.. and hang up.

It can be an Alice's Restaurant kind a moment...

[Melissa G]

7. She is just one of a potential many.. n/t

43. Here is an excellent thread that shows how to Boycott ABC most

effectively.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=106x28911
High points include

Doing an organized boycott

Calling the General SALES Manager of your affiliate and telling them you are going to boycott their local news.

If you own a DVR, read this.

Your cable or satellite company (DirecTV, Dish Network) is reporting to ABC (and the other networks) what programs you have on a "timer."

Delete all your ABC timers..
There is a lot more good info at this link to a Dkos article

Thanks to Pirate Smile and Rippe for the scoop!

4. ABC does not have any show good enough to continue with

after this. There is no such TV show. Most of it is garbage anyway. I only watch one thing on ABC and will gladly drop it.

[Melissa G]

11. It is Nice that ABC is so easy to Boycott... n/t

[Melissa G]

28. Drop the show and tell your local affiliate why..

You can add the catchy little tune

ABC is Dead to me
ABC is Dead to me
ABC is Dead to me

if you air the Path to 9/11...
and hang up.. Arlo will love you..

[City Lights]

5. Check out my sig line!

:evilgrin:

Great minds think alike! :toast:

[Melissa G]

9. Excellent!! The beginning of a movement!!! n/t

[hyphenate]

8. I can't honestly say

that I watch anything on ABC to begin with. On network TV, my main network would be CBS and then NBC for a couple of things only.

I really can't give a crap over what they do, but I do hope it's going to hurt them good if people boycott them. It's the start of a new season, so an all-out effort right now would hurt especially new shows quite a bit. Go to it!!

[Melissa G]

12. Season premiere Boycott!! ABC is Dead to me!!! Google Bomb it by

adding it to your PT 911 posts!!!

[deacon]

14. Exploiting 911 for their own gain gain is despicable- i've erased them

from my tv remote controls for good.

[City Lights]

15. Me too!

I've reduced them to Fox status. Good riddance!

[Melissa G]

26. Good plan ! A couple of Votes to greatest will help spread the word!

[Time for change]

16. Good thought

Hopefully, with all the boycott threats, lawsuits, and the richly deserved blow to their reputation as a so-called "news" organization, they'll be squirming pretty good by now. :grr:

[DearAbby]

17. They already are..

they have removed their mask, and shown where they stand. They are dead to me, as well as Disney.

[Melissa G]

18. Kickin ' for a season premiere boycott!

:kick:

[Imagevision]

19. I have bad vibes everytime I see the mickey mouse BS.

[NotGivingUp]

20. Dead here.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

21. Hard to believe that ABC network airs Boston Legal

n/t

[StrictlyRockers]

22. ABC = Already Been Cremated (in my mind)

[Melissa G]

24. Here's for Funeral rites To Already Been Cremated!

Let's sizzle their season premier week to a crisp!:nuke:

[kerry-is-my-prez]

23. You mean the "Airs Bullshit and Crap" Network?

n/t

[Melissa G]

25. Yep , hoping Already Been Canceled is their new motto for their new

season courtesy of our Boycott! Here's to their coming to their senses quick and removing that steaming pile of stinky crapola from the scheduled lineup!

[Melissa G]

27. Kickin for the Night Crew! Boycott the ABC New Season for a Reason!

If they won't Pull the Propaganda that tries to rewrite history...

ABC is Dead to Me! Sing it with feeling!!!

[mnhtnbb]

29. Kickin'. Here's vote 5 ABC is dead to me, too.

[Melissa G]

30. Thanks mnhtnbb , I can sleep better now that I know more folks

will see this thread asking them to call their local affiliates and sing our little ditty..

ABC is Dead to Me

ABC is Dead to Me
ABC is Dead to Me

if they air the Path to 9/11...

Perhaps we have some opera singers amongst us?

[RiverStone]

31. An open letter to Charles Gibson . Will you resign?

Dear Charles,

ABC has been around for 58 years and with that tradition come a deep sense of responsibility. That is responsibility to the public trust. For reasons well articulated by many from all walks and backgrounds, the mini-series "Path to 911" is clearly bold face propaganda. Charles, we care not what your political affiliation is, for it does not matter here. You are the present standard bearer for ABC news. Imagine what an impact and message you would give if by following the very most basic journalistic tenants of truth, you resigned (or threatened to) if ABC proceeds with airing a grossly distorted representation of one of America's sadness moments.

Go back to the days of journalism 101. Is it not time as Peter Finch once said in the great movie "Network", for you to open the windows of your news studio and shout, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore." You want to really make history for future journalism students and this country? Set a standard of excellence for all and resign in the spirit of truth, in protest of the lies as aired in this mini-series. Now thats real news! Thats truth!

Good night and good luck.

Sincerely,

One of many viewers

[Melissa G]

33. "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

A moment that certainly rings true today!!!

[MaraJade]

53. How do I join you!?

How can I resign and encourage others to do the same? Give mea mailing address for abc as a start--

[KelleyKramer]

32. Turn it off!

Teevee is nothing but garbage. Anything labeled as 'news' is pretty much propaganda.

Turn it off!

If you want real news, you will not find it on tee-vee

[Robbins]

34. Boycatt

I was going to get Into Lost by watching the DVD through Blockbuster but I cancled those plans(as well as renting Desperate Housewives Season 2) I love Boston Legal but I can't watch it If ABC airs
Path to 9/11.My only exceptions are buying Alias season 5 when It hits DVD and seeing the third
Pirates of the Caribbean next Summer. Beyond that no more ABC/Disney unless they pull It.

[Melissa G]

35. I personally pretty much have turned it off..It's the children that are

being told to watch this garbage for homework and who have teachers who might not be pointing out the lies that have me concerned and motivated to try to get it off the air.

[ShortnFiery]

46. As a parent, I encourage other parents to NOT have their children watch ..

Tell the teachers that it's not FACT but a Docudrama? If the kids must watch FICTION as a Jumping-off point for further discussion, are they going to read Historical Novels to study history? I think NOT!

There's a multitude of truths that would have dramatized just as well. To promote lies and disinformation is NOT educational.

Stand-up to ABC and Scholastic by refusing to allow your kids to study visual FICTION as that portrayed as historical FACT. :hi:

[Melissa G]

49. Oh yeah, Parents are good but School Districts are Better! I called mine

Wednesday! I worked on the Scholastic school Boycott that day! I also wanted to be sure my district was not assigning this bunch of extreme right wing propaganda for homework!:hi:

[FightingIrish]

36. They may be more than "dead to you"

Before it has even aired this lame political tool, ABC has done irreparable harm to two prominent brands, Disney and ABC. For me ABC will forever mean Absolute Bull Crap.

[LaPera]

37. If we keep up the intensity though Monday & others climb on board...

it'll be a catastrophic joke for Disney-ABC!

Let's keep it up.

[Justice Is Comin]

38. A(ll) B(ull) C(hit) ---ESPN

Vaporized from my channel line up :nuke:

[MaraJade]

54. Lovely!

I have already asked that Directv remove them. . .

[Polemicist]

39. ABC is dead to me...

If they broadcast this fictional propaganda.

I will not watch their network. I will not watch their local affiliates programing. I will not purchase products from their advertisers. And I will do everything in my power to cause the revocation of the broadcast licenses of ABC and all it's affiliates.

And I will never get over this. If this broadcast airs, I will declare a personal war with ABC that will never end, until they have paid so high a price that they will never act in this fashion again. If they think they can broadcast this program and then "hunker down" and outlast our fury, they are certifiably nuts. I and millions like me, will hold Disney/ABC accountable for their egregious action in promoting a perverse fiction about one of our nation's greatest tragedies.

And blaming it on me and my political party.

[Melissa G]

42. Excellent summation! They do not deserve our airwaves if putting

the propaganda trash that they are calling the Path to 9 11 is what they are going to do with that privilege. The fact that ABC was willing to promote this garbage as homework for our children is too disgusting for words!:puke:

[kansasblue]

40. ABC was dead to me when......

They dissed as 'tinfoil hat wearing' blogs thinking the election was stolen in Nov 2004

[Melissa G]

51. Tinfoil is so popular now that fully a third of the nation believes

the 2004 election was Stolen and over 50 percent now see Shrub for the sorry excuse for a pResident he is. We patriotic tinfoil hatters here were just avant garde in the tinfoil hat fashion movement!:hi:

[upi402]

41. ABC propagandizes on *OUR* public airwaves

and ABC says it's based on the "9-11 Commission Report" that we the people paid for with our tax dollars.

Got propaganda?

[ShortnFiery]

44. ABC is Dead to me! See you in the Activist HQ forum for support. eom

[dogday]

45. Then they are dead, cause they are going to show

this movie... That is for sure... Too much money, time, and politics for them to stop now....

[ShortnFiery]

47. Let the Boycotts begin, and begin in ernest! eom

[dogday]

48. Amen to that, I said it yesterday

But today when I look at my usual MSM websites and newspapers, this story had little or no value at all... Like it had just disappeared into the night... That spoke volumes to me....

[martymar64]

50. Say it once, say it loud!!!

ABC IS DEAD TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Melissa G]

52. ABC IS DEAD TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! for martymar64 and posterity!

:toast: :hi:
