New Zealand TV planning on running ORIGINAL defamatory 9/11 show, will only show a new version if Disney/ABC sends it in time

URGENT: Gang, make sure someone in New Zealand and/or Australia tapes whatever is aired down there. We're going to want copies. Ditto for whatever they air in the UK.

According to the folks in New Zealand, they have the original defamatory version of Disney/ABC's 9/11 show and they've clearly not been given any orders not to run it. They're still planning on running the original version and will only run something different IF Disney/ABC gets them the new version in time. As the NZ is pretty damn far ahead of, international dateline wise, this should be interesting. If they run the original show, and they say they're still planning on it, the libel awards are going to be in the millions.

TVNZ spokesperson Megan Richards says the network will run whatever the ABC sends to it.

Ms Richards says TVNZ already has a version of the programme, but if it receives another one before the screening time, that will be run instead.

3. Americablog writing about some scenes

Good God

Okay, so right after the falsified and defamatory scene where they blame everything on Sandy Berger, the lead Afghan guerilla fighter, Masoud, says "Are there any men left in Washington, or are they all cowards?" (Note to Sandy: They just called you a coward, and this video already went out to 1,000 opinion leaders in the press - you've already been defamed.) But it gets better. Immediately the show switches to video of President Clinton testifying on tape about the Monica Lewinsky matter.

Disney/ABC is disgusting. They could have just as easily shown shots of Republican congressmen droning on about Monica while America was at peril. Of Ken Starr droning on about Monica while Osama was free. But Disney/ABC chose to blame Bill Clinton. And this is the second time already in the film that they bring up Monica and blame Clinton. That is the prima facie definition of bias.

Third time they bring up Monica

Third time in just the first half of the show that they're bringing up Monica to claim that she somehow distracted Clinton away from doing the right thing vis-a-vis bin Laden. I think we get it.

4. Europe, Australia, New Zealand--what the hell is this program?

It is being shown to a great part of the world, it seems. Are all these governments in support of blantant neocon propaganda?

5. In New Zealand, ABC follows through with smear

In New Zealand, ABC follows through with smear

on Berger. The network made minimal edits to a scene that has no basis in the 9/11 Commission Report or reality. Watch the video here. Other scenes from the New Zealand version of Path to 9/11 here.
