AA Considers Pulling ALL Ads From ABC- Because of Blogger!!

Looks to me like we're not the only ones pissed off.

Late Monday, American Airlines released the following statement: "The Disney/ABC television program, 'The Path to 9/11,' which began airing last night, is inaccurate and irresponsible in its portrayal of the airport check-in events that occurred on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

"A factual description of those events can be found in the official government edition of the 9/11 Commission Report and supporting documents.

"This misrepresentation of facts dishonors the memory of innocent American Airlines employees and all those who lost their lives as a result of the tragic events of 9/11."

American said it would have no further comment beyond the statement at this time. But earlier in the day, it had sent a letter to those who had contacted the company with the same complaint, inspired by liberal blogger John Aravosis of Americablog.

2. Way to go Americablog!

That is great news. Now if more advertisers would pay attention to what they are sponsoring maybe we could get more propaganda pulled from the networks.

I will not watch anything on their network for now on, neither will the rest of my family who is also disgusted. And buh bye Disney... you can make money off the fundamentalist freaks... just remember you don't piss them off. They may bomb you... for fundamentalists around the World to me are one in the same... nuts!
